Rockaway Park High School for Environmental Sustainability

The mission of Rockaway Park High School is to prepare students for college and careers through a curriculum centered on environmental sustainability. We believe learning is most dynamic when students are given hands-on experiences through an interdisciplinary curriculum that reaches a wide range of learning styles. Rockaway Park High School is a highly personalized environment in which each student is known well by the school community. Students graduate with the critical thinking skills necessary to pursue their scholarly passions and interests after high school.

• The carpentry course of study is designed to create an appreciation of the industry and to develop entry-level skills within the carpentry trade. Students will develop skills that ensure a successful transition from high school to post-secondary institutions.
