Central High School Named a New York State Education Department Recognition School

On October 10, 2019 the board of education recognized Central High School Principal Dr. Joseph Pompilio and the Central teachers and staff for being named a New York State Education Department Recognition School under the Every Student Succeeds Act Plan.

According to the NYSED, “Recognition Schools are identified as such because they are among the top performing under ESSA for performance, student growth and/or graduation rate; met or exceeded either the school or state measures of interim progress for English language arts and mathematics, rate of Chronic Absenteeism, and College, Career, and Civic Readiness; and met the federally required 95 percent participation rate in the English language arts and mathematics assessments.”

Last school year, Central received distinction by the New York State Education Department for graduating young men of color at one of the highest rates in the state of New York.

All Eastern Musician

As you may already know, one of our North musicians had been selected to the All-Eastern Music Festival Band. Amelia Cossentino left early Friday morning for Pittsburgh where she worked and rehearsed with top HS musicians from the East Coast over the weekend.

Amelia contacted me late Friday afternoon, to say that she had been awarded first chair of the tuba section, which makes her the best HS tubaist from Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, the District of Columbia, and the Department of Defense School in Europe.

When she returns to school on Monday, if you see her in the hall or in class, congratulate her on this amazing accomplishment.

It's Opt-Out Time!
