The Doctor is In!

Any students interested in joining a spring sports team, please remember you need a current physical and parental consent form. If you need a physical, you are in luck! The doctor will be available to give any interested students a free physical on WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 1 from 3:00-5:00 at Park East High School. In order to get your physical, you must come with BOTH forms (physical AND consent) signed by your parent. If you do not have these signatures, the doctor will not see you. See your athletic directors for proper forms if you are interested.

Congrats to Our Scholar Athletes

A big congratulations are in order for seniors Edwin Prado (Heritage) and Steven Byas (Coalition School for Social Change). These two student-athletes were selected as two of 55 student-athletes in all five boroughs (2 out of 11 in Manahattan!!) to be New Era Pinstripe Bowl MVP Scholar Athletes. The awards will be presented to these young men Tuesday, December 20 at the Legends Club at Yankee stadium. With so many outstanding athletes in the city of New York, it is quite an accomplishment for both boys who were members of the bowling team and are also currently participating in wrestling (Edwin) and basketball (Steven). Well done boys.

Eligibility for Sports Teams

With Winter sports in full force, its time to start thinking about Spring Sports. Remember, in order to play on a Pride sports team, you must have the following:
1) At least 80% attendance
2) 8 credits over the previous year
3) You must pass 4+1 class the previous semester
4) You must pass physical education (gym)

Get your physicals and consents and join a Pride team today!

Basketball Season has Officially Arrived

We hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving. The girl's basketball team officially kicks off their season tomorrow (Monday) at 5:00 against Julia Richmond at Central Park East. The boys also have their first official game of the season Monday away at 5:30 at the Seward Park Campus. Good luck to both teams.  
Go PRIDE!!

7th in the City!

Congratulations to Boranda Diaz who placed 7th at the New York City Individual Bowling Championships. Boranda was the high scorer on the bowling team this season with an average of 134. She placed 4th in the borough individual championships on Monday November 7 which earned her a spot at the city championships on November 10. It was there that Boranda bowled her way to 7th in the city. This is quite an accomplishment for the sophomore out of Central Park East High School. Congrats again Boranda!
