Curtis High School

Curtis High School really gets a bad rap but is ACTUALLY one of the best High Schools in New York! Anyone who thinks otherwise is more than likely the typical entitlement seeker and the type who wants things handed to them. The Guidance Counselors go BEYOND the call of duty as do the teachers and coaches! I'd like to especially shout out Coach Thalia Sutton and Mr. Frank Cho! These two individuals are gems and I am grateful for their dedication!

Watch out for coaches who turn their back on you during your worst times

Currently writing on my Curtis High School PTA scholarship essay and it's interesting to read all these comments about the high school that I am going to gradate from in less than 3 months. Curtis has the IB program which should be considered as rare program in New York City because IB are mostly offered in private institutions. We might don't have the brand as the Specialized high schools do, but a Chinese proverb always driven me: "If you are gold, you will glitter sooner or later." It is the students themselves who should study hard and excel both academically and personally instead of relying on the faculty... well, I have a lot more to say, but I have to go to my next period now. GO WARRIORS! Don't squander your four years of youth! Challenge yourself with tears, sweats, and joy!

Curtis has its ups and downs but for the past few months we just lost a Curtis student named Miles. And since then there have been less fights . And yes the learning and teaching does need to be improve but I think it will , As a sophomore my classmates and I must be patient .

I love my school!!! best sports team! #wrestling USA CHAMPIONS 2013 (girls)
