McKee College Fair

A big thanks to all the students and parents that came out to the McKee College Fair this past Saturday! It was small  but I hope those of you who came were able to get some useful information from the schools that did attend. We will be having a larger fair in the fall and I would love to hear from some of you who you would be interested in seeing and speaking to then. Please comment on this post or email me at JPecora5@schools.nyc.gov with the names of schools you would particularly like to see or speak to in the fall. Schools from all over the country have regional representatives that come to high school fairs to speak to parents and students like you who can't take the long trip to visit a school that is hours away. So please, be in touch with me and let me know who you would like to see!

Another big thanks to all the colleges that attended our college fair:

• St. John's University
• College of Staten Island
• Kingsborough Community College
• CUNY
• SUNY Alfred State
• US Marines
• NYU Poly 
• Berkeley College
• IDC
• Penn State

College Fair

Yesterday was McKee High School's College Fair and it was a real success! Our seniors, juniors, and some sophomores got the opportunity to speak with college representatives and find out information about some schools they may not have known about otherwise! This was a really great chance for our students to find out what is offered at different schools and the wide range of opportunities they have ahead of them. My sincerest thank you to the schools who attended and spoke to our students yesterday:
Wood-Tobe Coburn
Kingsborough Community College
CUNY Central
Kean University
SUNY Maritime College
SUNY Alfred
Institute of Design and Construction
NY Career Institute
Berkeley College
DeVry University
Lincoln Tech
NYIT
College of Staten Island
WorkForce1
US Army
US Marines

We had a great turnout of school and a great turnout of interested students. Thanks so much for your time and effort, representatives! Looking forward to seeing everyone again in the spring and next fall!
