Principal's Message
Dear Students, Families, and Community Members,
As the proud principal of our school in the heart of Harlem, I am thrilled to welcome you to a new school year filled with endless possibilities and growth. Our vision is clear: to empower life-long learners and leaders, and it is our mission to ignite the passion for learning within each student. We are committed to cultivating critical thinkers in a caring, supportive, and diverse environment, preparing them to make a profound impact on the world.
Harlem is not just a place; it is the MECCA of history, a beacon of culture, resilience, and innovation. From the Harlem Renaissance to the present day, our community has been a crucible of creativity and leadership. As Langston Hughes so beautifully reminded us, "Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly." At our school, we hold fast to the dreams of our students, nurturing their creativity and curiosity through dynamic partnerships and engaging academic activities that promote success and achievement.
In our halls, students are not just learners; they are scholars, artists, scientists, and future leaders. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in the diverse opportunities we provide, from scholarly projects that challenge the mind to creative endeavors that stir the soul. Through our strong community partnerships, we bring the rich legacy of Harlem into the classroom, ensuring that our students are connected to the history that surrounds them and inspired to contribute to it.
We believe in the boundless potential of our students, and together, we will soar to new heights. With the support of our dedicated teachers, families, and community partners, we are committed to fostering an environment where every student feels valued, empowered, and inspired to reach their fullest potential.
Thank you for being part of our vibrant school community. Let's make this year a remarkable journey of discovery and success!
With great enthusiasm,
Dr. Melitina Hernandez Ed.D
Proud Principal
