Dear Bronx High School of Business Community,

Welcome to Bronx High School of Business!

It is my honor and privilege to serve as Principal of a school community committed to ensuring that every student is known, supported, challenged, and prepared to succeed in college, career, and life. At BHSB, we believe high school should be more than a pathway to graduation. It should be a place where students discover their strengths, explore their interests, build meaningful relationships, and develop the skills and confidence needed to shape their futures.

Our students have opportunities to explore college and career pathways, develop technology and cybersecurity skills, participate in work-based learning experiences, earn college credit, engage in extracurricular activities, and receive individualized support. Through our FutureReadyNYC work and partnerships with families and community organizations, we are building experiences that connect classroom learning to the opportunities that await our students beyond high school.

At the center of everything we do are our core values, represented by LIT: Leadership, Integrity, and Tenacity.

Leadership
At BHSB, students learn to take ownership of their education and their future. We encourage them to understand their academic progress, advocate for themselves, contribute to their school community, and seek opportunities to grow as leaders.

Integrity
Our students are encouraged to hold themselves to high standards, make responsible choices, and demonstrate honesty, accountability, and respect. Integrity prepares our students to become trusted members of their school, workplace, and community.

Tenacity
We know that success requires perseverance. BHSB students learn to face challenges with determination, grow from setbacks, seek support when needed, and continue moving forward toward their goals.

Our commitment to students is strengthened by the partnership of our families, educators, staff, community-based organizations, colleges, industry partners, and the broader New York City Public Schools community. Together, we are creating a school where students feel a sense of belonging, have access to meaningful opportunities, and can envision a future filled with possibilities.

I invite our families to be active partners in this work, our students to take full advantage of every opportunity available to them, and our community partners to continue investing in the promise and potential of our young people.

Together, we will continue to ensure that Bronx High School of Business soars to new heights of excellence.

With pride and appreciation,

Alice Bajaña Vega
Principal
Bronx High School of Business
