Overview Paragraph

This is a dynamic institution that provides high-quality programs that emphasize civil rights issues. Students develop skills in lyrical composition, writing, musical recording, and producing. Students perform at school functions and talent shows. Students travel to courthouses in New York and Washington DC, compete in Moot Court competitions, and serve as judges, attorneys, jurors, bailiffs, and clerks in the AcademyÂ’s Youth Court. A courtroom is also available for mock trials and law-related classes. Whether your plans are to enroll in a four-year university or enroll in a law enforcement or legal training program, the High School for Civil Rights provides students with the academic background and workplace exposure needed for success.
