  • 2011 Roster/Schedule
    A staple in the New York region and an emerging program on the national stage, the Manhattanville College Athletic Department continues to bolster its reputation as a program on the rise in all areas: athletic achievement, academic success and overall participation. More than 300 Valiant student-athletes (nearly 20 percent of the student body) took part in intercollegiate athletics during the 2009-10 school year showcasing the continued and rapid growth of athletics at Manhattanville. Following the successful integration of the men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track teams in 2008-09, the program has expanded to 21 intercollegiate teams – including seven new teams that have been established or re-established since 2007 alone. And teams at Manhattanville do not just compete, they win. Seven different programs earned conference regular-season or tournament championships in 2009-10 – a total bettered by only 13 Division III schools – and two Valiant teams (baseball and men’s golf) appeared in the NCAA Tournament. Fifteen of 21 Valiant teams earned berths in their respective conference championships last year, including confer- ence championships for the baseball, men’s golf and men’s hockey pro- grams. Three Manhattanville teams (men’s hockey, women’s hockey and women’s soccer) also received national rankings over the course of the year, the most in a single school year since 2004-05. On an individual level, many Valiant student-athletes were honored in 2009-10 as well. A program-record four Valiants – A.J. Mikkelsen and Mickey Lang (men’s hockey), Katie Little (women’s hockey) and Dan Fiorito (baseball) received All-American accolades, while an incredible six players were named conference Player of the Year.

  • New York State Principals New York State's High Schools, Middle Schools and Elementary Schools an Open Letter of Concern Regar
    New York State Principals New York State’s High Schools, Middle Schools and Elementary Schools An Open Letter of Concern Regarding New York State’s APPR Legislation for the Evaluation of Teachers and Principals www.newyorkprincipals.org Over the past year, New York State has implemented dramatic changes to its schools. As building principals, we recognize that change is an essential component of school improvement. We continually examine best practices and pursue the most promising research-based school improvement strategies. We are very concerned, however, that at the state level change is being imposed in a rapid manner and without high-quality evidentiary support. Our students, teachers and communities deserve better. They deserve thoughtful reforms that will improve teaching and learning for all students. It is in this spirit that we write this letter, which sets forth our concerns and offers a path forward. We believe that it is our ethical obligation as principals to express our deep concerns about the recently implemented Annual Professional Performance Review (APPR) regulations. These regulations are seriously flawed, and our schools and students will bear the brunt of their poor design. Below we explain why we are opposed to APPR as it is presently structured. Background In May 2010, the New York State Legislature—in an effort to secure federal Race to the Top funds— approved an amendment to Educational Law 3012-c regarding the Annual Professional Performance Review (APPR) of teachers and principals. The new law states that beginning September 2011, all teachers and principals will receive a number from 0-100 to rate their performance.

    A Message from the Director SUMMER 2018 A Publication of the Southern Westchester BOCES Center for Career Services After an unusually cool spring, summer is finally upon us. Here at the Center for Career Services, we are taking a few moments to reflect on the school year that has just ended. To say that it was a successful one is really an understatement. This year, we had more students passing industry exams than ever before, and their performance in competitions like HOSA- Future Health Professionals and SkillsUSA was definitely something to be proud of. In fact, four of our students, two from the EMT Program, and two from the Veterinary Science Program, made it to the HOSA Nationals in Dallas last month, and while they didn’t come back winners, the experience was a life-changing one for them. The work that all of our students completed throughout the year and the lessons they learned are among our proudest moments. All of that is evident in Graduates from the Nursing Assistant Program pictured with instructor Alyson Keane. the quarterly awards they received, in the way they stepped up to the plate to participate Career Services Center Celebrates Student in various projects, the respect they showed their instructors and the camaraderie they Achievements with Recognition Ceremony developed with each other.

And teams at Manhattanville do not just compete, they win. Three Valiant squads (men’s basketball, baseball and men’s tennis) earned Freedom Conference regular-season championships in 2008-09 and both the men’s and women’s hockey teams spent much of the year with national rankings. Sixteen of 21 Valiant teams earned berths in their respective conference tournaments last year, including four conference championship game appearances. In all, Manhattanville teams posted an impressive .548 winning percentage (184-151-6) last season, with two Valiants teams also setting new program records for wins in a single season. On an individual level, many Valiant student-athletes were honored in 2008-09 as well. Men’s hockey forward Chris Trafford and women’s hockey center Holly Nonis became the 15th and 16th Valiants to earn All-American honors following the season, while the pair were two of four players to be named conference Player of the Year.
