Congratulations to Alisson, East Brooklyn Community High School’s 2024 Valedictorian! Alisson has been a phenomenal student since arriving at East Brooklyn Community High School (EBCHS) in the fall of 2023. EBCHS is a small transfer high school that combines quality academics with intensive support services to promote academic success. “The teachers really care. They really want you to learn the material and they create a positive environment that made me want to go to school,” Alisson said. “East Brooklyn also makes mental health a priority. If you’re feeling stressed, you’re encouraged to speak to a social worker to help get you in a better place.” Read Alisson's full story here: https://lnkd.in/eZ5xNyrd
