School Safety at MCSM

MCSM H.S. has amazing students. Not only are they intelligent, but they are all very well behaved. As a result, MCSM is one of the safest High Schools in NYC. But kids will be kids, and the dean at MCSM are a huge part of that.
Mr. Albetta reported to the SLT in May of 2012 that the incident rate at MCSM was at an all time low. In fact it has gone down each year that he has been the Assistant Principal of Security. Having great kids is a big part of that, but setting clear expectations, and having systems in place that hold students accountable for their behavior is why students at MCSM are safer now than ever before.
In 2012 there was only one dean at MCSM, and his name is Mr. Hernandez. He monitored the behavior of 1,650 students day in and day out. Never before in the history of this school has there only been one dean, but in 2012 he was the only one. Mr. Hernandez monitored the basement, 1st floor, 2nd floor and the third floor everyday. Mr. Hernandez was never seen using the elevator, he would use the stairs because that’s the most likely place that kids would be hanging out, cutting class.
Many deans of the past were known to make deals with kids that would condone inappropriate behavior and that in turn lead to lower graduation rates, higher incident rates, and higher student suspension rates. I will not use the names of those individuals of the past but let’s say one of them I am refering to is very fond of sweat paints, and the New York Yankees.
It’s very simple, MCSM H.S.is a much safer place now than ever before because of Assistant Principal Albetta, and Dean Hernandez.
