ACADEMIC AND EXTRACURRICULAR EXCELLENCE Among New Rochelle’s standout features is its comprehensive high school, which serves approximately 3,000 students, and a thriving alternative high school option known as Huguenot Academy. The district is quickly gaining recognition for its expansive dual enrollment and AP course catalog, which Dr. Reynolds proudly states rivals that of local colleges. Students have access to a college-level Science Research Program that partners with organizations such as Regeneron and NASA; a well-known forensic science program culminating in a live crime scene investigation, supported by local and state law enforcement agencies; and the PAVE (Performance and Visual Arts Education) program, which nurtures talent in music, theater, dance, and visual arts. “Many of our students graduate with college credits already under their belt,” Dr. Reynolds says. “This gives them a head start in their post-secondary journeys and a significant cost advantage.” Athletics are equally emphasized. “Our girls’ flag football team is the fastest-growing sport,” notes New Rochelle High School marching band in the annual New Rochelle Thanksgiving Parade 255 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 06 CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT OF NEW ROCHELLE
