Student Life
Clubs
We have a wide variety of clubs at HERO High,
including student government, Rainbow Alliance,
after-school arts programs like spoken word,
drama and mural painting, and intramural sports
like soccer and volleyball.
Internships
We offer hundreds of paid internships in
the summer and many during the school
year. Instead of looking for a summer job,
HERO students have internship preparation
and placement support, work in the field
of healthcare while building their resumes,
AND receive a competitive wage.
Summer program
Students should plan to participate in our
summer program in July. This program
allows students to take additional classes
and learn more career-readiness skills. The
summer program is a necessity for those
students who want to be nurses and doctors.
The Arts at HERO
We know that students have to explore more
then just their career interests as they grow into
adulthood. We have a range of art teachers on
our faculty who teach classes in drama, visual arts,
and dance.
Sport teams
Our PSAL program is a priority for our campus.
If you are a serious athlete, consider trying out
for one of our championship varsity teams in
Basketball (Girls and Boys), Indoor and Outdoor
Track (Girls and Boys), Softball or Baseball. Next
year, we will have new PSAL teams in soccer and
volleyball.
Lots of trips – Fridays, all day trips, college trips, Ramapo, Field day
HERO students travel on a regular basis
so that they can practice their skills in real
world in environments and use our city as a
classroom. Students go on trips every Friday
afternoon to locations connected to their
regular classes and also take longer trips
for outdoor education, team building, and
college exploration.
Coming early, staying late for college class
HERO High students have full days. Plan to come
in early and stay late so you can participate
in college classes and take advantage of our
comprehensive tutoring program.
