OUR PRINCIPAL

On behalf of the Jill Chaifetz Transfer High School community, I welcome you to our school website. We are not just a school, but a unique community dedicated to providing a transformative education to students ages 16-21 seeking an alternative and responsive environment. Our primary goal is not just to help students earn their high school diploma, but to prepare them thoroughly for college and career readiness. This commitment is reflected in our unique blend of a rigorous class learning environment and individualized support through a student-centered interaction. We are proud of our active Student Council, which is focused on building student community and civic responsibility. Additionally, we value the partnership with families, as it allows students to work towards excellence.
