It’s a high school like no other, where you might be growing oysters during 3rd period and spend 5th period scuba diving at the bottom of New York Harbor. The Urban Assembly New York Harbor School is a public high school whose mission is “built upon New York City’s maritime experience that instills in its students both the ethics and skills of stewardship.” We’re joined by three students from the school – Patricia Tapia, Florence Bloomfield, and Cesar Gutierrez – who will make you laugh, and touch your heart with inspiration while giving us all an important lesson about what motivates young students and what makes for an exceptional educational experience today.

    Wow! This is clearly not your regular high school! Very interesting approach and a fresh initiative that can surely find other places to follow in the future. I think it could work well in the Bay Area too.

    thinks this is the one education job I would take at this point in my life; Headmaster of SFBay’s Harbor School.

    You are one fabulous organizer. Call me when you find a backer. I’ll be there with bells on! ;^D
