Daily News | Strawberry Mansion High School continues to fight an old reputation. But students say the school is an oasis
Four years later, Mansion now has a full complement of students — it restricted enrollment for a year as a way to help restart the school’s climate but now has ninth through 12th graders again — new reasons to hope, and new challenges.Principal Brian McCracken welcomes every student who walks through the heavy red doors of Strawberry Mansion — about 230 students attend a school built for 1,800.
And while a traditional high school experience includes clubs and activities, students staying after school isn’t Mansion’s reality. The partnership also gives Mansion students a taste of possible career paths without requiring the onerous commitment required by traditional career and technical schools, where students must log an unwieldy 1,230 hours in vocational classes, an impracticality for those who are often transient.A case in point: One student with significant behavioral and academic struggles came to Mansion after being out of school for three years, and could not read and write.
Anderson took a job as an English teacher in 2019, and kept adding roles. Now, she’s a school-based teacher leader and also the “restorative dean,” helping the school reframe what discipline looks like.
