Six of our motivated freshmen recently traveled to the Co-op Tech Upper East Side campus for an immersive look at post-secondary career pathways. Having partnered with this program for the past two years, we continue to find it an incredibly resourceful way for students to see hands-on vocational training in action.
Our students explored a wide range of industries, including Culinary, Cosmetology, Barbering, Construction, Automotive, Graphic Design, and Movie Production. A highlight of the trip was a guest presentation by a professional Movie Producer, where our students gained insider knowledge about the film industry. They also had the inspiring opportunity to connect with a former HSFI graduate currently at Co-op Tech. The students explored Co-op Tech as a post-secondary options exploration activity.
from building series circuits to mastering the complexity of parallel wiring, these young scientists are getting hands-on with the laws of physics. It’s one thing to read about current and resistance—it’s another to see the bulbs light up!
Science Rules!!!
Take a peek at the preparations for our upcoming Mock Regents! Our Community Associates are hard at work ensuring everything is set for this important academic milestone. From organizing materials to supporting student readiness, it’s all about creating the best environment for success.

Students analyzed each pattern to determine whether it was arithmetic with a constant difference or geometric with a constant ratio. After identifying the type of sequence, they wrote the explicit formula and used it to calculate the 5th and 20th terms. This required students to move beyond simple pattern recognition and translate visual growth into precise algebraic language.
The vertical learning structure promoted collaboration, accountability, and academic discourse. Students stood together at the board, debated their reasoning, justified whether the pattern showed repeated addition or multiplication, and checked one another’s work before finalizing their diagnosis.
By connecting visual models to explicit formulas and long term predictions, students strengthened the exact skills needed for success on the Algebra Regents. This Regents ready activity built conceptual understanding while reinforcing procedural fluency and confidence.
