Hoboken Charter School Honored as one the Best Charter Schools in the Nation.

TOP 2 in NJ. TOP 53 in the Nation.

Press Release

The Center for Education Reform (CER) honored 53 of the nation's best charter schools as part of its National Charter School of the Year program held May 16, 2007 in Washington, D.C. at the National Press Club and on Capitol Hill. Chosen from the nation's nearly 4,000 charter schools for their achievement, innovation, and accountability, the honorees hailed from 24 states 

All 3,940 U.S. charter schools were eligible for the honor. The selection process began in the fall of 2006, with all schools asked to respond to CER's annual survey. A small percentage of survey respondents were invited to submit - and ultimately submitted - detailed information for consideration for this recognition.

Evaluation of the schools proceeded along four themes: achievement; planning and execution; satisfaction; and policies and programs. Each theme included additional criteria (12 in total), such as improvement over time; percentage of at-risk students served; meeting mission and goals; and parental involvement. CER identified 53 exceptional schools deserving recognition.

Outstanding Young Educator Award

December 18, 2007

Dear Hoboken Charter School community,

It is with great pleasure I announce to the entire Hoboken Charter School community that Deirdra Grode, 7-8 Language Arts and Social Studies teacher has won the prestigious Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD) Outstanding Young Educator Award.  Since I joined HCS, I have had the honor to work with Deirdra, one of the most talented, creative and professional teachers I have ever met.  When I nominated her for this award I was well aware she would be judged along side some of the best educators in the country.  ASCD is one of the leading educational associations, and it is a tremendous honor for her to be recognized as one of the emerging educational leaders who exemplify excellence and equity in teaching and learning.
 
We have all witnessed her dedication and commitment to our students and her fellow teachers.  Deirdra is, always advocating for the human rights as she challenges us to consider topics related to social justice, equality and diversity, key elements of her teaching.  I am thrilled that she is now nationally recognized for what is obvious to all of us who work and learn with her on a daily basis.  And, now, thousands of students and educators will learn from and be inspired by her work.
 
Please join me in congratulating Deirdra and thanking her for representing our Charter school in such a tremendous way.  And, please watch for an upcoming celebration for her.

Sincerely,

Alfredo Huereca
