The day began at 7:45 with a breakfast and a tour of the school with Chancellor Walcott. Walcott visited all of the classrooms and talked with the students about their studies. The program featured remarks from Chancellor Walcott, EHTP Executive Director Jeffrey Ginsburg, Scholars Academy Founding Principal Cheyenne E. Batista São Roque, EHTP Board Chair Laurie Giddins, EHTP alumna Fatima Johnson and current Scholars Academy parent Natalie Gonzalez. The ceremony also included a musical performance by the students. This August, EHTP proudly opened the doors to East Harlem Scholars Academy our K-8 public charter school. In the coming year, EHTP will also announce plans to build a 65,000 sq. ft.  headquarters, an anchor of educational change and hope, at the corner of 105th Street and Second Avenue. East Harlem Scholars Academy represents an expansion of EHTP’s vision and builds upon our track record of success.

EHTP Makes Strides Against Breast Cancer

On Sunday, October 17th more than 50 members of the EHTP community took part in the Breast Cancer Walk.  Students, parents, staff, and volunteers made EHTP proud by participating in making strides against breast cancer.  Students not only walked the 5 miles, but also actively participated in the fundraising process, raising $584 for the cause (surpassing their goal of 500!).  We extend a special thanks to Jennifer Perez and all our staff who coordinated this important event.
