Administrative offices and most operations at New Rochelle High School have been moved to House 4 until late July while crews ramp up construction and replace electrical switchgear equipment in other areas of the building.
Most NRHS summer school classes have been moved to Albert Leonard Middle School at 25 Gerada Lane. There will be shuttle bus service from NRHS to ALMS for summer school classes. The buses will leave from North Avenue by the Huguenot Children's Library (near Eastchester Road) on the following schedule: 8:00, 10:00 and 12:00. Buses will leave ALMS at 10:30, 12:30 and 2:30, returning to North Avenue.
Other NRHS business, including picking up transcripts, will take place in House 4, where internet service and phone lines have been re-routed.
House 4 will also be the temporary home of the District’s re-registration process, which begins this summer with incoming ninth-graders.
Power was turned off in most of the building on June 26 to allow crews to replace the equipment. The work is part of Phase II of the $106.5 million bond project approved by voters in 2016. The $46 million phase is on course to be completed later this year.
Access to House 4 is off North and Braemar avenues or from the end of Flandreau Avenue. The building’s main entrance at 265 Clove Road is temporarily closed to the staff and the general public.
The NRHS administrative office can still be reached at (914) 576-4500.
For questions on the construction, contact Director of Facilities Carl Thurnau, cthurnau@nredlearn.org, (914) 576-4222.
The New Rochelle High School Class of 2018 graduated Thursday afternoon in a commencement ceremony filled with advice, encouragement and challenges for the students to be the best that they can be.
“I call on the Class of 2018 to find a path that each of you finds genuinely purposeful,” valedictorian Elijah Pomerantz said to the sea of 670 fellow purple-robed seniors on the high school’s McKenna Field. “Standing on the precipice of adulthood, we all have to decide what this next chapter of our lives will bring. Whether we are heading off to college, to work or to serve our nation, we are all poised to begin our adult years auspiciously.”
An incoming member of Princeton University’s freshman class, Pomerantz was one of 15 graduating seniors who will attend Ivy League colleges in the fall. The class completed a sweep of the prestigious schools, sending at least one student to each of the eight ivies – including eight students to Cornell University alone.
Pomerantz and salutatorian Randall St. Louis remarked on the wide range of passions and skills exhibited by the class.
“As I look out at this crowd in front of me,” said St. Louis, who will attend Harvard University, “I see future scientists who have grown out of the Science Research Program, future athletes who have started their careers with championships here, future artists and performers from the PAVE program who will soon be walking red carpets, future engineers who will take us deeper into the age of technology and future leaders who I hope to see on ballots later in life.”
Class President Ever-Maat Mack challenged her fellow graduates and the families and friends present to think about “privilege and perspective.”
“If you can’t understand where others are coming from, you can’t empathize,” she said. “We should strive to treat each other with a certain level of unconditional respect.”
Principal Reginald Richardson said the seniors had faced challenges and had shown themselves to be “passionate, intelligent, articulate and resilient.”
“Because of you, I am filled with hope and optimism for the future,” he said. “Because of you, I can see a world much better than the one we have today.”
Board of Education Vice President Jeffrey Hastie also addressed the graduates, telling them that they have shown courage and kindness this year.
“The most impressive takeaway for me is your sense of now,” Hastie said. “Now is your time to action. Now is your time to speak. Now is your time to do. You are not waiting your turn, asking for permission. Nor should you. You will shape your future and no one else. Such a conviction at any age is inspiring, but more so in the young.”
Schools Superintendent Dr. Brian Osborne told the graduates that they are ready to shape, “even radically alter,” the world.
“Graduates, whatever you do next, learn as much as you possibly can in every possible way,” he said. “Your education is not a place you attend or a class you take. It’s how you ultimately make sense of the world and your place in it. May you take the critical thinking and deeply held core values that are so embodied by New Rochelle, and bring all your joy, creativity and compassion to lead us to a better tomorrow.”
Dear Trinity Families;
I am so excited to welcome all of our scholars to Trinity Elementary School for the 2018-2019 school year! I look forward to greeting them at the door and continuing our journey of success.
I am honored to start the 2018-2019 school year as your Principal! I am also pleased to welcome our new Assistant Principal; Ms. Bridget Merturi. Ms. Merturi began her journey to become an educator right here in New Rochelle at Daniel Webster Elementary School as a student teacher. Ms. Merturi is returning to New Rochelle with 14 years of experience as an elementary teacher, instructional coach and most recently the Assistant Principal in the Greenburg-Graham School District. Ms. Merturi brings her extensive experience and passion as an elementary instructional leader and is thrilled to be part of the Trinity Family.
As in years past, your children will have a year filled with tremendous opportunities provided by dedicated, enthusiastic educators. Our faculty and staff focus on educating the whole child. Our robust English Language Arts curriculum not only meets state standards, but offers the opportunity to develop a love of reading and writing. Our balanced literacy approach allows our students to dive into their learning and explore many genres of literature. Your child will love to experience mathematics with our Investigations math program. Using manipulatives to learn challenging math concepts makes math come to life! Our social studies and science curricula provide intriguing learning opportunities to explore the past, present and future of our world.
Trinity also offers a wide array of unique learning opportunities filled with enrichment and additional support. We offer a K-5 Spanish/English Dual Language program, S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) program for our 4th and 5th grade students, a beautifully appointed professional television studio, as well as targeted math and reading intervention, just to name a few.
Trinity is fortunate to continue with a variety of community based partnerships for the 2018-2019 school year. Our collaboration with the Hudson Park Children’s Greenhouse proves to be a gift that keeps on giving….it gives us kale, radishes, corn and the list goes on! It has also given us experiential learning opportunities in science and agriculture. Our scholars will continue to learn all about the needs of plants, the parts of a plant, predator and prey relationships, photosynthesis, pollination, growing, harvesting and composting. Ms. Merturi and I enjoyed the “fruits” of their learning...we ate delicious kale salads over the summer….and they were yummy! We can’t wait to learn all about popcorn this fall!
Our partnership with “We Future Cycle” will be back again! Anna Giordano and her team come to school and teach our students the many ways of being healthy citizens of the world. Learning about recycling, composting and vermiculture is always a big hit! I am really looking forward to our “Lunch Time Scavenger Hunt!”
Trinity Elementary School is a special place where students learn and grow. The entire Trinity Team is looking forward to another dynamic school year of reconnecting with old friends, making new ones, mastering new concepts and realizing that everything you do matters!
Sincerely,
Michael Hilderbrand
School Principal

We need to live with ourselves, our neighbors and all members of the international community; we believe that education must help individuals know themselves, understand their world, and believe in cooperation and mutual respect. It is important that our students examine and appreciate their own characters, that they be open and sensitive to the relationships with others and that they learn to demonstrate an active concern for their neighborhoods and for the world at large. Such goals are both ambitious and vital; we must each aim at them through a lifetime of learning and growth. To help students love learning, so they can happily undertake such a life, we must foster a concern with why, and not just what, they are learning. We are committed to the belief that learning to know ourselves deeply, care about others, and accept education as a never-ending process occurs best when we are held responsible for our actions yet feel secure enough to take risks. We, therefore, aim to be challenging and demanding, yet nurturing and individualized.
Our philosophy is based on the needs and characteristics of our students and staff. We focus on meeting the special needs and interests of all students. Along with a solid academic background, there are several important traits which we hope our students will develop. These include a love of learning, a positive self-image and a sense of personal responsibility. We hope that in all ways, we as an elementary school, will be characterized by cooperation, caring and an open sharing of ideas and feelings. Always the assumption in our concept at Trinity is that each student is special and that all students are capable of learning.
