🎓✨ Today, Superintendent Soler and Mayor Mike Spano, in partnership with YPIE, shared life-changing news with 11th-grade students across Yonkers Public Schools. Joined by Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, the Yonkers City Council President and members, and representatives from our partner colleges and universities, students learned about the Yonkers Promise, a direct pathway from high school to higher education.
Through the Yonkers Promise, Yonkers Public Schools graduates don’t have to apply. Lehman College, Manhattanville University, Mercy University, Purchase College, SUNY Westchester Community College, and the University of Mount Saint Vincent will reach out directly to students with next steps in the admissions process.
Through this initiative, Yonkers students will have greater access to higher education and the support needed to transition successfully from high school to college.
When a community comes together to invest in its students, incredible things happen. Thank you to our partners for helping fulfill the Yonkers Promise for every Yonkers student.
💙 Your Future. Our Promise.
