NYU Metro Center Congratulates 2020 Liberty Partnership Program Graduates

Posted

Graduation season is always a bittersweet time for the Liberty Partnerships Program (LPP).  While we are overjoyed that students have graduated, we are saddened that we will no longer see them on a frequent basis.  Highlighted is a group of students from Landmark HS who have participated in LPP since their freshman year.  Landmark students are a dedicated group that is really more like a big family. The culture of the school is familial and tightly-knit.  Here are just 4 of the many exemplary Landmark HS graduates who participated in LPP in a variety of ways (while making the Honor Roll)  including Culinary Arts, Peer Mentoring, SAT Preparation, Tutoring, Visual Arts, local regional and statewide youth conferences, and talking about all of these opportunities to legislators at the annual Advocacy Day in Albany.
