""We are ringing in the school year with more investments to prepare our students for bold futures," Adams said. "Today, we are opening seven new public schools across the five boroughs, including the first HBCU Early College Prep High School, expanding programs for students with autism, rolling out our first batch of 5,000 new after-school seats, and so much more as we invest in our students and families.""
"HBCU Early College Prep opened its doors for more than 100 ninth grade students as part of a historic first day, led by founding principal and HBCU alumnus Dr. Asya Johnson. The school's structure is rooted in the rich legacy of HBCU's and offers students a comprehensive experience that includes college courses, Greek life, Founder's Day activities, Mr. and Miss Freshman competitions, Homecoming celebrations and more."
A new HBCU Early College Prep School opened in Jamaica at 88-15 182nd St., offering a tuition-free early college experience that can yield up to 64 college credits toward an associate degree in Liberal Arts at Delaware State University. More than 100 ninth graders comprise the first cohort, led by founding principal Dr. Asya Johnson. The school integrates HBCU traditions such as Greek life, Founder's Day, and Homecoming with college courses. The launch coincides with expanded initiatives including NYC Reads and NYC Solves, an internet-enabled device policy to limit classroom distractions, hiring investments, and 5,000 new after-school seats.
