The East New York Middle School of Excellence is committed to the principles of social justice. We believe that through self-determination, we can inspire the East New York community to act on its convictions to affirm its right to a quality education. We teach our students to cherish and preserve their ethnic and cultural identity, to serve and determine the future of our community, and to have a passion for peace, justice and the dignity of all people. By nurturing our students socially, emotionally, cognitively and culturally, our students will graduate high school, prepared for college and career.
