Welcome To Bronx COmpass High School
Dear Compass Community:
We hope your family has enjoyed a restful summer! We are excited to welcome our Dragons and their families back to school for the 2020-2021 school year, whether you are joining us in person or virtually.
We understand this new school year will bring many changes, but we are certain that we can successfully adapt to this new normal together.
Over the past weeks you have received information and updates from our school and the NYC DOE to prepare you for the new school year.
As we approach the first week of school, we would like to take this opportunity to remind you that you can continue to access important information related to school reopening, right here on our website.
We encourage all families to review this information in preparation for the first weeks of school.
We appreciate your patience as we work together to implement new protocols and standards to ensure a safe learning environment for a healthy school year. We look forward to seeing you next week!

You matter.
Your life matters, your feelings matter, your voice matters, your future matters, your civil rights matter.
We're here for you, you're here for each other and we need to remember this now, more than ever.
Come together, share your feelings, they are valid, find your support from others, be there for those at Bronx Compass who need you now.
We are a community.
These are painful and strange times that we are living through. We must support each other moving forward and find strength, love and compassion to bring about change, together.
Myself and the faculty of Bronx Compass will always be there for you when you need us. We're just an email, phone call, text or Google Meet, away.
Respectfully,
Brett Roer

Our dragons soar!
Home of the Fearless Dragons
There are so many things that make our Bronx Compass High School Community great. We are a diverse group of individuals who come together to support, learn and grow with each other. With almost 20 different after school clubs, including dance, journalism, video game club and chess, there's something for everyone. In our 2018/19 school year, our dragons went on over 30 cultural, educational, recreational, community service and post-secondary trips to places including Washington D.C., several Broadway shows (Hello Hamilton!) and Pineridge Dude Ranch. Pair all this with our focus on academics and administering to the whole student, Bronx Compass is the place to be!
Stick around, explore a little and watch us spread our wings.
Bronx Compass...Got GRIT!
