Our Mission

Mott Hall High School’s faculty passionately care about supporting our students and inspiring them to realize their dreams for the future. One of our greatest priorities is teaching students to develop their critical thinking skills and social-emotional health and resiliency.
 
Our mission is to intellectually prepare, emotionally engage, and cognitively challenge all of our students so they are ready for college and post-secondary success, empowered as citizens, and on a journey to self-actualization. We hold ourselves accountable to providing a culturally responsive education, to embracing values of self-awareness and social justice and providing a space of healing for those in need of it.

School Survey

LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!

Your School. Your Child. Your Voice.
Every year, we ask all families, teachers, and staff of grades 3-K through 12, and students in grades 6-12 to take the NYC School Survey. The survey gives school leaders a better understanding of what members of their school community think about their school. The information collected by the survey is designed to support a dialogue among all members of the school community about how to make the school a better place to learn.

Principal's Message

Greetings:
 
At Mott Hall High School Harlem, we teach the whole person - we challenge and inspire our young people to use their minds well by engrossing them in knowledge and teaching them skills that are relevant, expanding their understanding of the world through experiences that engage and excite their curiosity. We also support their emotional well-being and foster its development, enmeshing them in a culture of belonging. Every student is part of a class called Crew, led by a Crew leader, who shephards no more than fifteen students through the intense academic and social demands of high school.
