This initiative provides the opportunity to earn both a high school diploma and a tuition-free Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree in Maritime Technology/Small Vessel Operations from SUNY Maritime College, while gaining invaluable hands-on experience in technology and the maritime industry. Applications open in the Spring. Look out for information during the Fall semester. Contact our P-TECH Committee at ptech@newyorkharborschool.org for further assistance. Read more about P-TECH at nycptechschools.org . ColN College Now We're happy to partner with Kingsborough Community College to offer two College Now classes here on the Harbor School campus. Qualified students who are interested have the option of taking: Student Development 10: Introduction to College Planning Student Development 11: Career and Life Planning Classes are led by our School Counselor and Kingsborough Adjunct Instructor, Shaun Panton . These are dual enrollment courses that allow students to earn both high school and free CUNY college credits, while preparing and planning for their future. Students start out by taking SD 10, which covers researching colleges and other post-secondary pathways, navigating the college application process, and choosing a college major that matches their interests and goals, while evaluating the return on investment (ROI) of various options to make informed choices. They then move on to SD 11, which builds on SD 10 but focuses on choosing a meaningful career path and how to start the journey to the career and life of their dreams. By the end of both of these courses, students will know more about themselves and will have a greater understanding of what they want to do after they leave high school. We hope to expand our College Now offerings in the future.

ABOUT Watch us on CNN 10!

Through the school’s partnership with The Billion Oyster Project , students also contribute to oyster restoration research and environmental restoration efforts. Located on picturesque Governors Island, NYHS offers field trips, college tours, and opportunities to learn from experts in science, industry, and the maritime community. Our students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills while exploring careers in marine science, environmental research, engineering, professional diving, vessel operations, and other related fields. Mission Principal's Message Our Mission > > > The Mission of the Urban Assembly New York Harbor School is dedicated to providing an exceptional and challenging educational experience that prepares students for successful careers and long-term financial stability. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our eight Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs, which emphasize Maritime and Environmental Sustainability. By fostering a collaborative community of passionate educators, engaged students, supportive families, and industry partners, we ensure that every student is equipped to tackle the academic, technical, civic, and workforce demands of the twenty-first century. > > > Principal's Message Michael Hojnacki mhojnacki@schools.nyc.gov Dear Harbor School Families, Students, and Visitors, Welcome to Harbor School. Harbor School is more than a place where students earn a diploma. It is a place where learning has purpose, curiosity becomes action, and young people discover that they can make a meaningful difference in the world. Every morning, our students and staff board a ferry to begin the school day. It is a journey unlike that of any other high school in New York City, and in many ways it represents who we are as a community. Every day, Harbor School challenges students to step outside of what is familiar, embrace new experiences, and discover what they are capable of accomplishing. Learning at Harbor School extends far beyond the walls of a traditional classroom. It happens in New York Harbor, research laboratories, engineering workshops, welding bays, aboard vessels, in green spaces, and alongside the many organizations that partner with us to provide authentic experiences that prepare students for life after high school. Everything we do is guided by one goal: preparing young people to solve the challenges of tomorrow. The careers our students will enter, the technologies they will use, and the environmental issues they will face will continue to evolve. Our responsibility is not simply to prepare students for their first job after graduation, but to equip them with the curiosity, adaptability, resilience, and confidence to lead throughout their lives. At Harbor School, environmental stewardship is more than a subject we teach. It is part of who we are. Students restore oyster reefs that improve the health of New York Harbor, study marine ecosystems, design engineering solutions, learn sustainable practices, and explore how science, technology, policy, and industry work together to shape the future of our city and our planet. They learn that protecting our environment is not someone else's responsibility. It is a responsibility we all share. Students pursue these experiences through our eight state-approved Career and Technical Education pathways, which reflect the diverse opportunities within the maritime and environmental industries. They earn industry-recognized certifications, participate in internships and work-based learning, collaborate with professionals across New York City, and graduate prepared for the next chapter of their lives. At the same time, Harbor School provides a rigorous academic education that challenges students to think critically, communicate effectively, and become lifelong learners. Through Advanced Placement courses, College Now opportunities, our SUNY Maritime P-TECH program, and a growing network of college, university, government, nonprofit, and industry partnerships, students are encouraged to see themselves not only as graduates, but as future scientists, engineers, educators, policymakers, entrepreneurs, mariners, skilled tradespeople, and leaders. This is an exciting time in Harbor School's history. Over the past several years, Harbor School has experienced remarkable growth, and we are just getting started. The expansion of our campus, the opening of new learning spaces, the continued growth of our academic and Career and Technical Education programs, and an ever-expanding network of partnerships are creating opportunities for students unlike ever before. While our school is growing in size, our commitment remains the same: ensuring that every student is known, challenged, supported, and inspired. My vision is for Harbor School to become the nation's premier high school for environmental and maritime education, not simply because of our location or our programs, but because of the quality of our students, our educators, and the opportunities we create together. I want Harbor School to be recognized as a place where young people discover their passions, tackle meaningful challenges, develop innovative solutions, and graduate ready to lead in college, careers, and their communities. Achieving that vision requires continuous growth, innovation, and collaboration. Every partnership we build, every improvement we make to our campus, every new learning experience we create, and every success our students achieve brings us one step closer. The future of Harbor School has never been brighter, and I could not be more excited about what lies ahead. What makes Harbor School truly exceptional, however, is not our location, our facilities, or even our programs. It is our people. Every day, I have the privilege of watching students support one another, celebrate one another's successes, and rise to challenges they never imagined they could overcome. I see teachers who invest countless hours creating extraordinary learning experiences because they believe deeply in their students. I see families who trust us with what matters most to them, and community partners who open doors that change the trajectory of our students' lives. Together, we are building something special. Harbor School is a place where curiosity is encouraged, hard work is valued, and every student is expected to contribute to something larger than themselves. We believe education should inspire students not only to build successful careers, but also to become thoughtful citizens who leave their communities better than they found them. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about Harbor School. Whether you are exploring Harbor School for the first time or have been part of our community for years, I hope you will discover what so many of us experience every day: a school filled with opportunity, purpose, innovation, and optimism. I look forward to welcoming you to Harbor School. Warm regards, Michael Hojnacki Principal The Urban Assembly New York Harbor School

Welcome to the Harbor School Library, a space for curiosity, creativity, and community. Find books, study resources, fun activities, and a place to connect and recharge. LIBRARY Welcome to the Harbor School Library—where curiosity, creativity, and community come together. Our library is more than just a room full of books.

Whether you're looking for your next read, working on a group project, diving into research, or just need a place to recharge, you're always welcome here.

These activities are here to help you recharge, build friendships, and have fun in a low-pressure way. We’re building a collection and a community that reflects you—diverse stories, dynamic formats, and resources that spark imagination and inquiry. Stop by to ask questions, find inspiration, or just say hi. Meet Clara Hours Locate a book Events Resources > > > Our School Library Media Specialist Clara Owen cowen@schools.nyc.gov I’m the School Library Media Specialist at New York Harbor School, where I strive to make the library a place where all students feel seen, supported, and inspired. After a decade as an English and special education teacher, I did a program Teachers2Librarian for NYC Public School teachers looking to transition into the school library media specialist role and increase the supply of certified librarians in NYC! The move for me was motivated by a desire to focus on building individual connections, nurturing curiosity, and supporting lifelong learning. Whether it's through helping students discover books they love, supporting research and media literacy, or creating space for creative and social activities like puzzles, games, and clubs, my goal is to foster a community of engaged, thoughtful learners. When I’m not in the library, you’ll probably find me cuddling with my cat, traveling around New England, reading an intense book, biking around the city, watching Bravo, or exploring nature.
