JERICHO, NY -- Jericho High School is once again excited to invite our parents and students to our Course Information Night & Community Service Fair on Thursday, February 2nd from 7-9pm. All of our teachers will be on hand to answer questions about their courses. Additionally, AP teachers will offer mini-sessions to discuss the rigor and expectations of these courses. Five minutes have been added to each minisession this year to better ensure course expectations can be more fully discussed. The AP session schedule can be found by clicking here.

For our incoming 9th graders (currently in 8th grade), the administrators will offer a program starting at 7pm. This session will release students and parents with plenty of time to attend the Course Information Night to learn about all that the high school offers.
