Deysi Montero
Hello, my name is Deysi Montero. I graduated from Middle College High School in 2017. After High school I went to college and I am currently living in NYC.
I am currently working as a Design Production Coordinator.
My favorite memory would be how different our school was compared to other public high schools in NYC.
How instead of regents we did oral defense, we were able to take actual college classes and enabled to transfer those credits to college. We also learned ASL and being a small school we knew a majority of the teachers.
Advice I can share with my fellow LaGuardia students is Network! Some careers, especially in the creative field, networking is the best thing to do. Talent/skills alone are good but networking and knowing the right people will give you a much bigger boost in your career.
My achievements since graduating from high school are working on or credited for several shows including the emmy winning TV Series Severance.
MCHS is dedicated to key strategic pillars for student success:
Building Future Travelers and Leaders: We prepare our graduates to navigate complex global landscapes, equipped with critical thinking, effective communication, and collaborative skills that are essential for leadership in any field.
Cultivating Responsible Citizens: Through a commitment to social-emotional learning (SEL) and community engagement, we instill in our students a strong sense of responsibility, empathy, and a desire to contribute positively to their communities and the world.
Ensuring Unmatched Head Starts: Our Early College program, coupled with the individualized support of our Teacher Counselor model, provides our students with an unparalleled advantage, preparing them to enter four-year universities as sophomores or juniors, or even with an Associate Degree, giving them a significant head start on their chosen career paths.
Fostering Initiative and Self-Efficacy: We empower students to take ownership of their learning and personal growth, encouraging independent thinking, problem-solving, and a proactive approach to their academic and career trajectories.
