A Letter From the Principal

Dear SBECA Community,

Welcome to the new academic year! We are excited about the 2019 - 2020 school year. South Bronx Early College Academy Charter School (SBECA) has a dedicated and passionate staff, supportive family, and creative, energetic scholars. We are going to achieve great things together. My name is Brian Blough, the principal here at SBECA. I have been a teacher or administrator in this neighborhood for the past 8 years. I was a special education teacher and have a deep understanding of how each child learns differently and know what it will take to help every child succeed.
At SBECA, we care for everyone in the school and consider them important stakeholders. This includes scholars, families, and teachers as well as our Board of Trustees. Our goal is to be fair and clear about what is expected of you and your scholar this school year. We promise to prepare your scholar for college and beyond, helping them to become well-rounded, 21st-century citizens ready to give back to their community. We will be pushing for increasing the rigor of our instruction while also ensuring that school is a safe and joyful place for all of our scholars. Also, we will continue with our after school programming and increase what is offered through academic support, clubs, and sports. Please be on the lookout for more information about after school programs in the coming weeks.
I’m looking forward to meeting all of you and seeing you at our back to school night. We are adding to our social media sites to help keep everyone up to date with all of the exciting things happening on campus! We have made updates to our handbook and some of the systems within the school and hope that these changes help to clarify expectations.
We hope that your time at our school is a rewarding experience that will make you proud. My door will always be open, and I look forward to this year being the best ever at South Bronx Early College Academy.

Sincerely,

Brian Blough, Principal
