We are still filled with joy and pride for our HCZ Promise Academy High School Seniors who graduated last week! Whatever you do in this next chapter of your life, remember, “If you can dream it, you can make it so.” Congratulations, class of 2022! Check out these behind the scenes photos of our graduation.

Watch out world - here come the freshmen! We’re so proud of our HCZ Promise Academy Middle School scholars who are embarking on the next stage of their journey: high school!

#GraduationWeek continues as we celebrate our HCZ Promise Academy Elementary School scholars who are heading into Middle School! Drop a graduation emoji to show your love! 🎓 🎓 🎓

One grade down - eleven to go! Congratulations to our little ones from HCZ Promise Academy who received their first diplomas last week!

Last week, our CEO @mrkwameok connected with over 180 future leaders from across the country at @harvardhbs and debriefed their debate on the Harvard case about @harlemchildrenszone and his leadership journey. He joined them again, in person, to serve as the keynote speaker at @harvardhbs SVMP program. "They are an inspiring group of leaders,” Mr. Owusu-Kesse said, “and I am thankful again to my alma mater Harvard for the amazing experience.”

Our scholars are moving up to new schools, transitioning to new programs, and in the case of our seniors, graduating and going to college! It’s our favorite time of year: #graduationseason! All this week, we’ll be celebrating these milestones with our scholars, families, and community. First up, scholars from Harlem Gems preschools. Congrats to our little ones!

Scholars from the first graduating class at HCZ Promise Academy reunited for the 10th anniversary of the Promise Academy's first graduating class! Watching them build successful careers and bright futures has been an inspiration to our whole community. Thank you, #Classof2012, for making us proud.

This year, we participated in the 2nd Annual Juneteenth Freedom Fest Block Party in Harlem! We spent our #Juneteenth weekend celebrating this important national holiday and creating amazing memories with our families, friends, and neighbors. See you all again next year!
