On August 8, 2009, Sonia Sotomayor was sworn in as the first Hispanic and third female to serve on the United States Supreme Court. Her judicial career began in 1991 when she was nominated to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York by President George H. W. Bush. Six years later, she was nominated by President Bill Clinton to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
Justice Sotomayor, the daughter of Puerto Ricans, overcame a childhood of poverty in the projects of the Bronx to graduate summa cum laude from Princeton University and receive her J.D. degree from Yale Law School. She has taught at New York University School of Law and at Columbia Law School.

Students are reminded to come to school each day on time! Students if you are absent, remember that 5 unexcused absences in an annual course, or 3 unexcused absences in a semester course, will result in a no credit (N/C) for the class. MLEC is in a block schedule, therefore 5 unexcused absences in an annual course WILL result in 10 unexcused absences and WILL result in a no credit being issued, and 3 unexcused absences in a semester course will equal six absences and also result in a no credit. Remember if you are absent you MUST bring a note and receive an admit to excuse your absence. Admits are issued in the Student Services Office prior to the start of school each day and during lunch and after school in the Main Office with Ms. Cheron. Do not be absent unnecessarily.
Students arriving tardy to school must sign in at the Tardy Center. Students with excessive tardies will be required to serve an Administrative Detention. BE ON TIME!!! AND COME TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY!!!
The Principal’s Word of the Day is
RELENTLESS (ri LENT lis) adj. continuous; unstoppable
To relent is to stop or give up. Relentless, or unrelenting, means not stopping. The torrential rains were relentless, eventually creating a deluge.
