Peekskill City School District: Educating Children of Promise
|
|
As we return to school after the dramatic impact of last week's hurricane, we at PCSD would like to extend our thanks to those in the community who helped during these tough times, including the Peekskill Police Department, the Peekskill Fire Department,
Peekskill's Buildings and Grounds staff, and all of the city and state employees who worked around the clock so that we may return to normalcy as fast as possible. We also thank our staff and the Peekskill community for their patience and support while the District was closed because of power loss. We hope everyone made it through the storm safely.

PHS Students Embrace College Fair
 Hundreds of Peekskill High School juniors and seniors are thinking about college, and thanks to the PHS Guidance Department, these students had the opportunity to meet with representatives from 44 colleges and universities at the school's College Fair. At the fair, spokespersons from these institutions answered the student's questions regarding academic programs, admission applications, financial aid, campus life and more. The schools present at the fair included everything from Ivy League colleges such as Harvard University, to our own "Harvard-on-the-Hudson," Westchester Community College.
