Catholic High School Fair & Open House Dates

Open House Dates

Students, parents and teachers are invited to visit the High Schools to view the facilities and to evaluate the programs offered. This can be done by attending the various Open Houses which most of the schools schedule prior to the TACHS Examination. Administrators and faculty members are available during each Open House to answer any questions. If any school does not have an Open House schedule or if you are unable to visit a school on the date of its Open House, you are invited to contact the school and set up an appointment to visit the school.

Please click on the link(s) below to see the list of 2014 open house dates and website addresses to participating Catholic high schools.

Archdiocese of New York	Diocese of Brooklyn/Queens

Note: High schools that do not have a TACHS code specified on the open house list do not participate in the TACHS program. Therefore you must contact the school directly to apply.

High School Information Fairs

As an alternative or in addition to attending an open house, students and their parents will also have an opportunity to meet and speak with Admissions Personnel and students from Catholic high schools at the Fall 2014 information fairs.

Gotham Girls Roller Derby -- Junior Derby!

Who can join?

The GGRD Junior Derby league is the place for any girls and young women between the ages of 8 and 17 yearsinterested in learning the sport of roller derby and working on skating and derby skills. We welcome all skill levels, but ask that you are able to comfortably stand in your skates and make it around the track without holding on to walls or people.

How is it structured?
All new skaters will start in one of our ten-week Basic & Beginners sessions. These classes will start by covering basic skating form, stops, starts, and safe falls. Skaters will then start learning to skate in partnerships and in packs and will eventually work their way up to light contact (positional blocking, lean-outs, hitting form). After each ten-week session, there will be an opportunity for a Skills Assessment to determine scrimmage-readiness. Once skaters have passed their skills assessments, they will be eligible to take advanced classes and start scrimmaging.

Basics & Beginners,10-week session
Thursdays from 5-7pm, starting September 5, 2013:
