East Brooklyn Community High School

Opened in fall of 2009, the East Brooklyn Community High School is modeled on longtime-DTE partner, the South Brooklyn Community High School, in Red Hook.  Principal Patrick Mcgillicuddy, a veteran of SBCHS and of DTE's media programs at the school, plans to include arts education through DTE in a multi-layered system of innovative education that will include small classes, individualized programs, and extensive counseling for both students and their families (provided through a partnership with the SCO Family of Services).
