Girls Basketball Wins First Round Playoff Game

The Lady Tigers won their first round playoff game 50-27 on February 15 over Brooklyn High School for Law and Technology. Senior Shakirra Smith posted 29 points and remains among the top 20 scorers in New York City. The team is now 17-0 overall this season. Click for the team schedule and updated coverage from the NY Post.




Queens Vocational has been selected to join the iZone, a community of highly innovative New York City schools committed to personalizing learning. Through various initiatives, iZone schools are developing bold learning structures and practices for their own schools as well as sharing these innovations with other schools on behalf of the larger school district. QVTHS joins these schools in the iZone community for the 2012-2013 school year.


Meet the QV Tiger

Queens Voc recently welcomed a new tiger mascot to the school community. There's one small problem: the tiger doesn't have a name yet! Email your suggestions to admin@queensvoc.org, and a winner will be announced soon!


Communicating with Parents

Parents of QV students can access many tools to track their child's performance in school. Progress reports are sent home halfway through each marking period. Parents can access their child's attendance, report cards, and transcripts at any time by signing up for a Daedalus* account. In addition, some teachers at QV are also utilizing Engrade, an online gradebook, to track student grades, post assignments, and facilitate online class discussions. Your child's teacher(s) will alert you if they use Engrade.

*To collect your Daedalus login info, contact your child's guidance counselor or email the school.


Vocational Voice Among NYC's Best

At the 8th annual NYC High School Journalism Conference at Baruch College, held on October 26, Queens Voc's school newspaper, Vocational Voice, tied for second place in Best Print Edition among New York City high school newspapers. 2011 Queens Voc graduate Armando Avila was the newspaper's editor-in-chief. Vocational Voice tied Cardozo High School's The Verdict.  

Two Queens Voc 2011 graduates also received awards. Ricky Macklin won first place in Sports Reporting with his article, "Whatever Happened to the Cheerleading Team?" and Larry Lebeau placed second as Runner-Up in In-depth Reporting with his article, "Gym Floor Buckles."
