Mission Statement
ERHS, PTA At Eleanor Roosevelt High School, our community thrives in a highly collaborative and supportive environment that embodies a commitment to continuous learning and innovative practice. Our mission is to teach students to be life-long learners who will think critically, communicate effectively, solve problems creatively and work independently and collaboratively in order to serve the global community. Our major educational priorities are to foster academic excellence in all core disciplines, while infusing a wide variety of artistic elements, challenging our students to act with courage, integrity and leadership. We are preparing our students to embrace the moral, social, and intellectual challenges to come. Our commitment to open, thoughtful exploration ensures that Eleanor Roosevelt High School is a place where questions are as important as answers. “…as individuals we live cooperatively, and, to the best of our ability, serve the community in which we live…our own success
About This Cause
Eleanor Roosevelt High School was opened in September 2002. It is the product of a grass-roots effort of parents and community leaders to establish a comprehensive, challenging high school for students on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. We opened in a temporary location in Chelsea with 105 ninth graders and a staff of eight. Currently ERHS has over five hundred students and over forty staff members. Our goal is to cultivate an intellectually-rich environment where we are all committed and engaged as active learners, examining and pushing our own and each others’ thinking, developing communication skills that allow for depth, clarity and expression, articulating and maintaining high standards, and establishing a culture where academic success is judged by the depth and breadth of one’s ability to question as well as his/her understanding. Eleanor Roosevelt High School has evolved into a highly sought-after, well-respected, college-preparatory NYC high school. By June 2015 we will have proudly graduated our 10th class.
