Cypress Hills Ascend Middle opened in its brand-new location at 2840 Atlantic Avenue for grades 5-7. The school will grow to enroll students in grade 8 for school year 2025-26. The school offers Dance, Computer Science and Physical Education. Students also have leadership opportunities through student government representatives by grade.
From the Principal's Desk:
"At Cypress Hills, we believe that 'the world is your playground,' and we want our students to know they can achieve whatever they want. We make sure they understand that they have the tools to achieve their goals and that we are all committed to creating a space where excellence is fueled by love.
Our school is built on the idea that it’s important to truly mirror what our students care about, helping them to connect with their culture and community while also challenging them to grow. We do this successfully by remaining aligned on the most important values and deeply caring for one another.
We strive to make sure that every student feels secure and confident— we want each student to fully believe that there is a clear pathway for them to be excellent and proficient. Through our inclusive approach, we empower students to know that this is their school. We are here for them. Together, we reflect, grow, and move forward, knowing that we can only achieve our goals when all of us are involved."
