Letter to HS Families
Good morning, students and families of Unity High,
I hope that you have enjoyed a very complete summer filled with quality time and perhaps some adventure!
I am writing to provide you with an important update as we prepare for an extremely successful school year. We are shifting our first day of high school from September 5th to Friday, September 7th. As you know, we are moving our high school site from Brownsville to Williamsburg, at 584 Driggs Avenue, for this coming year and are excited to have our very own state-of-the-art home. While we have accomplished the impossible in securing and renovating a building in less than two months, we need an additional two days to adequately prepare the building and ensure a strong start to the school year.
We are adjusting our school calendar to make up those two school days so that learning time will not be impacted. Specifically, we will have school on September 28, 2018, and March 15, 2019, which originally were staff-only days on our calendar. I am including a modified calendar which reflects this change. Please dispose of earlier versions of our calendar and refer to this version of your calendar moving forward.
Please contact Ms. Jaquez, Unity High’s Manager of Operations, with questions regarding the first day of school. She can be reached at (781) 606-0734. We look forward to welcoming students into our new home on September 7th – high school doors open at 7:45 am! All students are expected to be dressed for success according to our revised dress code, including an official Unity top, on the first day of school.
In unity,
Joshua M. Beauregard
Head of School & Co-founder
Unity Preparatory Charter School of Brooklyn
A special note to our high school families with children who attend our middle school: the first day for students at our middle school (grades 6-8) has not changed – middle school students should report to school at 432 Monroe Street on Wednesday, September 7th – middle school doors open at 7:05 am.

Middle School Interns at Brooklyn Botanic Garden
Unity has two 8th grade students who applied and were accepted to be science interns at the BBG. Richard Molina and Aveyona Stewart completed a lengthy application process that consisted of writing essays, filling out the application, getting two teacher recommendations, and conducting an in-person interview at the gardens. They will be getting paid to help with weekend education programs for elementary aged children. Interns will then be fast-tracked for yearly paid internships with increasing responsibilities culminating in scientific research/study in HS.
Thank-you to those teachers who stepped up with great recommendations!
Congrats to our Summer Search recipients!

Girls Basketball
Great day Unity Prep!! Last night we had a great bounce back game versus Hebrew Language. It also was the return of Kavana Goldson and Taneal Richards who kept the team steady throughout the game. Kendra Greene our captain played tremendous defense and Sunshine Saunders had an offensive explosion last night to help secure the victory.

Cheerleading
“Congrats to the boys and girls basketball ball team for the big WIN! I see the determination in all of the students. As for my cheerleaders, we need to step it up! Our first competition is January 27th and we are now taking a setback from games to make sure this routine is a success. Please give us all the love and support as we go through this journey. We want to come home with that Trophy!! Stay Tuned…..”
– Coach Vance
Boys Basketball
Second game of the season and the Panthers defense keeps proving to have more bite than purr. The defense, lead by Hunter Johnson (8th grade), Jamal Gordon (8th grade) and paced by the scoring of Messiah Washington (8th grade), dominated the early parts of the first half. Within the first 5 minutes the team had 6 steals, and lead 12-0. Additionally, Messiah Washington lead all players with 12 rebounds. Both Johnson and Gordon contributed 7 of their own. However, The Hebrew Language Academy battled back in the second half and challenged. HLA brought the score back to within two point, 17-15. A late minute substitution of Marquis Green-St Louis (8th grade), helped to seal the deal with a timely rebound and pass to Hunter, and made lay-up, late in the half. To top off a stellar defensive game, Johnson also had a block just minutes later to insure Unity’s victory. It marks the first below 20 opponent score of the year. “It’s one of our goals Mr. Coleman,” stated Coach Patrick. He continued, “we look to slow the game down at times with our offense, and control the glass and half-court with our defense.”
The boy’s play next week against Excellence Boy’s at home.
