TO & THROUGH COLLEGE
From high school graduation to college completion, all of our students receive dedicated support from our Director of Graduate Support, Natasha Cooper. Ms. Cooper serves as a vital resource for our graduates, offering guidance as they navigate the college experience. Whether it's addressing social, financial, academic, or emotional challenges, she is always ready to reach out and provide personalized assistance whenever needed.
SUCCESS IN COLLEGE
Before graduating, seniors take part in 'College 101,' a program integrated into their senior year courses. Through guidance from counselors, staff, and alumni, students are equipped with the skills and knowledge to excel on their new campuses, in their classrooms, and in their social lives. In 2023, 100% of CRNYHS graduates were admitted to a four-year college or university, with 80% attending institutions ranked as Selective, More Selective, or Most Selective by U.S. News & World Report.
ALUMNI INVOLVEMENT
We host annual alumni events to welcome our graduates back to CRNYHS and to ensure our current students can learn from their predecessors' successes and challenges. From our all-alumni reunion to the senior send-off BBQ each summer, we love bringing alumni back to celebrate their time with us. Our older alumni also return to support current students as sports coaches, mentors, career advisors, and more.
