Welcome Message Dear Community, Thank You for visiting the HSGC website. This site is a forum to share all of the amazing things happening at our unique school community in the middle of Brooklyn. Though we may be small, as Global Citizens we are making a huge impact in our classrooms and beyond. We were off to a quick start this year, and before we knew it-- two of our seniors were on their way to the United Nations and to Peru. They were both invited to represent youth voices on issues such as climate change and children's rights. Their experiences represent what we wish for every HSGC student: that they are able to use their education at HSGC to become passionate about making change in our world. Through reinforcing high academic expectations and offering a breadth of experiences outside of the classroom, we are doing just that! Our student activities continue to grow as well, with an active Student Goverment that tackles social issues both in our school and in the larger world. Our rich after school offerings give students the opportunity to academically excel and get invovled in meaningful social justice projects through Global Kids, PhotoVoice and Safe Horizon. Students are also discussing important issues and becoming job ready through their work with Partnership with Children. The work happening in our classrooms is exciting as well-- many teachers use this website to post their work and talk about the progress of their classess. Be sure to visit the Classes/Homework section to keep updated on what is happening. As all of this is going on, we are in the midst preparing our 3rd class to graduate. With our students already attending Tufts University, Penn State, Lafayette College, Arcadia College and many more-- this year's class of 2010 are on pace to fulfill their hopes to be college freshman. With support from programs such as College Summit, our seniors are more and more prepared to be successful college applicants. As we continue to grow as a individuals and as a school community-- it is important to remember that at HSGC we continually work to live up to the values of our mission and remain committed to the goals of Global Citizenship. Please explore the website, and be sure to let us know what you think! |
