Open House and Events
Dear families of accepted students,
We hope this message finds you happy and smiling! Your acceptance to Townsend Harris High School is a wonderful achievement and speaks to the type of student that you are. Our school community is thrilled to welcome you!
We already care about each of you, and we hope that you can see Townsend Harris as your home for the next four years. Our school is a special place that puts students first. To this end, we would like to invite you to an optional open house for accepted students. Please find a flyer here; key details are as follows:
Date: Monday March 24, 2025
Time: 5:00PM- 7:00PM
Location: Townsend Harris High School
We ask all families to please RSVP via this Google Form. Due to limited capacity, this invitation is only being extended to students and families who have received an offer of admission to Townsend Harris. We are not able to accommodate waitlisted applicants at this time. Attendance will be taken at the door, and students should bring a form of school or personal identification to verify their identity.
Please note that this event is completely optional; our goal is to get you acquainted with the school and answer any lingering questions you may have before high school admissions decisions are due on April 4, 2025. If you have a personal or religious obligation, please do not stress! You can still accept your offer without attending this event.
We hope to see you at this or a future event, to share more about Townsend Harris and all that it has in store for you. Staff and student representatives from a wide variety of activities will be available to highlight some of our school's many offerings. Whether you dream of deepening your learning in our rigorous academic courses, writing for our award-winning newspaper, The Classic, competing with our many academic and athletic teams, joining our incredible music and arts programs or one of our countless student clubs and organizations, we've got you covered. We are eager to know you and help you on a path of becoming the best version of yourself. You are our future Harrisites!
Please reach out to our guidance secretary, Ms. Cumberbatch, or our parent coordinator, Ms. Lasoff, with any questions you may have. Once again, if you are unable to attend, do not worry: we will reach out later this spring with details about new student orientations.
Thank you and be well,
Jessica Graf
