Take Advantage of Advantage at Port Richmond High School

The NYCID Advantage After-School Program at Port Richmond High School welcomes the entire student body.

Signs are posted throughout the school informing the students of the activities like the step team, 3 on 3 basketball, culinary workshops, tutoring, fellowshipping, credit recovery, and snacks.

The Advantage Program operates from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm during the school year.

Meet and Greet takes place for students, parents, and staff members to become acquainted with our program and socialize over breakfast in the school cafeteria. Students can then sign up for activities in our office.

Dear Nancy and Sid,

I can’t stand this high school so I’m always skipping school or class, failing subjects, getting into trouble, or getting bullied by other kids.  Don’t tell anyone I asked, but what else can I do?  -- Anthony

I can’t get up to go to school in the morning. Maybe I should go to night school or just quit. -- Charlie

Dear Nancy and Sid,

Unless these freshmen can overcome their poor attendance in middle school they’re probably going to have a tough time in high school. The truancy road leads to academic failure and dropping out. What kind of help can you provide?  -- Worried Parents and Teachers
