Dear Huguenot Academy Families and Students:
I am writing to update you on the progress on moving Huguenot Academy to Monroe College.
This space, located at 140 Huguenot St., has all internet and phone systems up and running. The desks in the offices and classrooms have all been set up, and all interactive smart boards, printers, and an office copier are all installed and functioning. Teachers are currently working on setting up their classrooms.
We have also completed a fire inspection with the New Rochelle Fire Department, and security cameras and access systems will begin to be installed early next week. We are still working on the asbestos plan, heating, ventilation and air conditioning system upgrades, fire system items (such as additional horns and strobes), and other general compliance needs.
We continue to work toward the requirements to get a “Certificate of Occupancy” from the New York State Education Department. Such a certificate is different from that required by colleges, and must be received prior to students occupying the space.
We still do not know the exact timing of when students will begin to take classes in the new space, but we will continue to keep you apprised every few days as we work with local and state agencies to complete all requirements. Until we are cleared to operate in the new space, classes will continue to be given remotely by your teachers.
We are very close to opening our new home in this first-class space and look forward to welcoming you soon.
Sincerely,
Dr. Dagoberto Artiles
Principal
New Rochelle High School
