A. Philip Randolph Home

Chancellor Kamar Samuels joined New York City Council Member Yusef Salaam and Manhattan High Schools District Superintendent Gary Beidleman for an inspiring visit to A. Philip Randolph Campus High School, centered on student voice, leadership, and learning.

Throughout the visit, students and faculty brought their work to life—sharing their programs, experiences, and perspectives through thoughtful and engaging conversations with district and community leadership. The energy across the building reflected a strong sense of pride, purpose, and possibility.

APR is SO excited! Last week students got to dive into Prisms VR, and WOW — this is truly a game changer for teaching and learning! 🙌💡
Students in Ms. Then's, Mr. Kue’s, and Mr. Rosa’s Algebra 1 classes, as well as Ms. Bulahan's Biology classes, had the incredible opportunity to try the virtual reality headsets for the very first time! 🤩
The excitement was REAL — students were fully engaged, exploring math and science concepts in immersive 3D environments and experiencing learning in a whole new way. 🚀✨
So proud of our scholars for jumping in with curiosity and enthusiasm. More innovation to come at APR! 💛📚

At last week’s Pathways to Engineering meeting, students became engineers-in-action as they explored the world of blueprints and why they matter.
With Legos, VEX robots, and origami in hand, they put instructions to the test and learned how blueprints shape the building process. When directions got tricky, students discovered that great engineering also means strong teamwork, clear communication, and lots of careful listening all while having fun building along the way!
