Hugo Newman College Preparatory School (PS/IS 180), a welcoming school located in a rapidly gentrifying area of Harlem, proudly displays a plaque that proclaims the school a Panasonic National School of Change.

After a decade of energetic and passionate leadership, PS/IS 180 has moved from a school in need of corrective action to a high achieving model of parent, teacher, and principal collaboration.
