A SPECIAL GREETING FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Dear Students and Parents,

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to another banner year for our school.  We are approaching the 25th anniversary of the unification of the two outstanding schools that became Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts – which proved that the whole is truly greater than the sum of its parts.

But every year is a new and ever-greater celebration of what makes us one of the nation’s most prestigious high schools: our proud heritage over more than 70 years, dedicated staff, successful alumni, supportive parents, and – most of all – our talented students.

The entire school community is proud of our unprecedented achievements over the past year.  We once again earned the highest ranking possible under the citywide School Quality Review, this year garnering the newly-established and most exclusive rank of “Outstanding.”  In addition, we again earned an “A” rating on the School Report Card.

We look forward to continuing the progress that we made last year as an empowerment school to fulfill even better our unique dual mission to provide a balanced program of rigorous studio training and challenging academics.

After this visit to our website, you are invited to come back for more – more information about LaGuardia events, more LaGuardia photos, more LaGuardia news, and more LaGuardia excitement. On behalf of the entire LaGuardia Arts community – students, staff, parents, and alumni – I extend wishes for another successful year.

Sincerely,
Kim M. Bruno
Principal
