This past week, CHAH 6th Graders participated in a debate tournament at Columbia University…and won! The students did wonderfully: they competed against only high schoolers and held their own magnificently!
Said one Columbia University official, “We hope that debate was an experience that all of your students found meaningful and significant. We loved working with them!”
Congratulations CHAH 6th Grade Debaters!
The Co-Ed CHAH Cross Country Team finished the 2019 Season strong with a record-breaking 6 runners winning medals in the final meet at Van Cortlandt Park!

Congratulations to the entire team on a fantastic finish to a wonderful season!
Today the CHAH Sewing Club began up-cycling donated jeans into stuffed animals. They're using a whale pattern inspired by a Finnish blogger. Here you can see them cutting the pattern out of paper, and then cutting into the fabric.
The students love working with their hands and making a product they can be proud of.
Up-cycling existing materials is a great way to give new life to old fabric and express your creativity. It's good for the environment too!
Stay tuned for pictures of our finished products!
The Open Mic is a chance for CHAH students to have their voices heard and their artistic talents nurtured in a low-pressure environment.
Emmulating the feel of a downtown Open Mic at a New York Cafe, we encourage students to put themselves out there and be vulnerable as a source of empowerment.
Thanks to local NYC artists Jade Zabric and Adrian from the Bronx for supporting our students' performances and bringing a show of their own!
In the summer of 2019, six high school students from CHAH engaged in a Citizen Scientist project surrounding the health of NYC waterways and how to improve them through policy. The Citizen Science program is a special project based learning science program supported by the Teaching Residents at Teachers College (TR@TC) program. CHAH and and two other schools partner with the TR@TC program to offer hands on opportunities for students to engage in science in their communities. The summer program’s culminating event took place in the Smith Learning Theater where teaching residents and students, supported by TR@TC alum and residents, showcased their findings and recommendations on the main stage for family, friends, and legislators.
If you see Llenely Urena, Franklin Eustate, Michael Florentino, Jeremy Mata, Elvis Tejeda, and Junirsa Valerio, please congratulate them on their successful participation in this special science enrichment program. You will also see Ms. Munoz, CHAH's living environment teacher, featured in the video, as she taught in this program as one of the Citizen Science teachers.
