There are so many reasons to be thankful.
We are thankful for the tremendous support we receive from alumni who care about LaGuardia students and want to help them make the world a more beautiful place. We are thankful for having gone to a school that is diverse and accepting of all people regardless of religion, race, or gender. We are thankful that there is still a place for the arts to flourish within the New York City public school system. And, we are thankful for YOU!

Superintendent Orlen, in collaboration with Executive Superintendent Rosales, is currently interviewing candidates for Interim Acting Principal (IA Principal) for placement this summer.
