Senior Dues: For the 2025-2026 school year, we will be collecting senior dues in the amount of $100.00 for senior graduation and senior event expenses (i.e., Senior luncheon, senior gift, graduation etc.) Any remaining funds will be used to reduce the cost for senior events and activities.   

Please note that some senior events may be free of cost for seniors who pay dues, while others may require additional payment. Events with a price listed must be paid for by the student (for example: prom, or the Trampoline Trip). 

Fundraising: Your child may reduce the cost of their expenses (Dues, Prom, or Trips) by participating in our Senior Activities Fundraising Campaign in the spring. Please see Mrs. Plumb in 501 to join the spring fundraiser.      

Please also keep in mind the following policies:

ELIGIBILITY TO ATTEND GRADUATION CEREMONY

 The Chancellor’s Regulation regarding the right to participate in the graduation ceremony is the following: 

Consistent with the need to maintain standards and communicate to students our expectations of them, only students who have successfully completed the requirements for a high school diploma including courses and standardized tests by the June graduation date, will be permitted to participate in graduation ceremonies conducted by their school.

Therefore, if your child has not fulfilled the requirements mandated by New York State before the June graduation date, he or she cannot be allowed to participate in the graduation ceremony.  Your child will still receive his/her yearbook, cap and gown, and diploma case.  Senior dues cannot be refunded.

ELIGIBILITY FOR SENIOR ACTIVITIES

 Only students who have obtained senior promotional status (i.e., students who have passed and are passing the courses required for graduation) will be eligible to attend Senior Trips and Activities (Senior Trip, Prom, Six Flags etc.) If students are failing grad requirements they will be supported on trip days with academic workshops and must still attend school. 

Furthermore, the administration reserves the right to deny any student from participating in any Senior Activity if the student has not met any school or class obligations such as exams and projects regardless of academic standing. Students who do not adhere to the “CityWide Behavioral Expectations” will be excluded from Senior Activities.

Fourth year students who have not obtained senior status are not eligible to participate in Senior Activities: Senior Prom, Six Flags Trip, Senior Luncheon, and Graduation Ceremony.  

I thank you for your attention to this matter, for supporting your child to this point and for being a part of our HSTAT community.  If you have any questions regarding senior activities, please do not hesitate to reach out to me using the contact information above or below. If you have questions regarding your child’s academic standing, please reach out to Adriane Musacchio amusacchio2@schools.nyc.gov  or Denise Basso at dbasso2@schools.nyc.gov. 

Kind Regards,

Monday, 4/27 vs. McKee/SIT
Telecom Baseball hit the road to Staten Island to take on McKee/SIT team. Senior Enrique Florian had a great outing on the mound and kept the game competitive throughout.

Offensively, the team had a tough time getting things going, finishing with just three hits from senior Matthew Cardona, junior Jordan Viera, and freshman Izaiah Ramos. In a hard-fought game, Telecom came up short, 2–0.

Friday, 4/24 vs. CSIHS/McCown
Telecom Baseball earned a thrilling 7–6 win in a true battle from start to finish. Senior Jacob Sibley got the start on the mound, but the game stayed tight as the team fought to find rhythm early.

The breakthrough came in the bottom of the 5th when senior Enrique Florian delivered a clutch bases-clearing hit to give Telecom a 7–4 lead and ignite the dugout.

In the final inning, senior Matthew Cardona took the mound and faced pressure, but with the game on the line, the team and crowd rallied behind him. On the final play, Senior Enrique Florian at shortstop fielded a ground ball and threw to junior Jordan Viera at first to seal the dramatic 7–6 victory.

Thursday, 4/23 vs. Canarsie HS  

Telecom Baseball secured an exciting 15–5 win over Canarsie. After trailing 5–2 in the fourth inning, the team rallied as Senior Matthew Cardona delivered a clutch double to take the lead. The dugout came alive, with every player bringing energy and support that helped spark the turnaround. Senior Enrique Florian came in on relief and held Canarsie in check, while senior Jacob Sibley broke things open in the fifth with a bases-clearing hit to give Telecom a 10–5 lead. Junior Jordan Viera came through with a walk that drove in the game's final run putting the finishing touch on the victory.
