The King of Hip Hop & The Mayor of New York Receive Yellow Hats

February 6th, scholars chosen for their hard work and diligence were awarded tickets to attend the Jay-Z concert benefiting education, donated by board members. The next night, they returned to meet the artist.

On February 9th, Mayor Michael Bloomberg came to Taino Tower, which houses Harlem Prep, to give a speech about the success of a program increasing fiscal support of non-custodial fathers.

Both Jay-Z and Bloomberg were given Yellow Hats and proclaimed that students should: "Work Hard. Go to College. Change the World."

Join us for our "270 Lives"
Cocktail Party

A year ago, DPPS was granted permission to take over a failed charter school, Harlem Day. For a decade, Harlem Day was unable to provide the quality of education its students deserved. With only the students and families staying constant, we opened Harlem Prep to show that it the quality of a school and its teachers that determines success.

We invite you to help this incredible school thrive. Join us for our "270 Lives" Cocktail Party for Harlem Prep Charter School on Tuesday March 6. Together, we can help more students work hard, go to college, and change the world.
