Ms. Langis' College Biology students observed Henrietta Lacks Day on February 1, 2024. This day honors Henrietta Lacks' contribution to the field of medicine through the use of her cells. Lacks and her family were initially unaware that her cells were being used for research. Students observe this day to acknowledge the unethical treatment Lacks experienced. To learn more about Lacks, see this school newspaper article written by McCown Times' very own Catherine Feery and Eli Karov.

McCown has a graduation rate of 97.8% and was recently spotlighted by NYCDOE Chancellor David Banks as a "great high school option" and the only school to be recognized in Staten Island.
McCown is a college preparatory school partnering with NYC Outward Bound Schools and EL Education to offer challenging student-centered learning focused around case studies and expeditions that incorporate fieldwork and conclude with projects presented to authentic audiences along with service learning opportunities. We offer a small, personal environment which allows McCown to highlight each student's unique gifts, talents and creativity in pursuit of mastery of NYS Standards. We expect students to uphold our character traits of citizenship, integrity, perseverance, respect, and responsibility, wear our uniform, and complete 100 hours of community service by graduation.
We encourage our students to earn college credits while they are in high school through our two dual enrollment partnerships with St. Francis College and the College of Staten Island. Students can graduate from McCown with as many as 15 college credits.
We offer a private school experience at a public school price!
