Mail Out Day

Mail Out day is a Bronx Prep tradition started in 2006 when its’ very first senior class of 21 scholars walked to the nearby post office to mail out their college applications. To support this accomplishment, the rest of the high school stood in the courtyard cheering on the seniors as they left the school as a group to mail their applications. It is very much a celebration of the “almost completion” of high school and an event that scholars look forward to every year. Bronx Prep has upheld this tradition…and it has grown! The entire school stands outside with individualized banners for the senior class. The staff uses their talents to DJ the entire event. Alumni and former staff members also make guest appearances to show their love and support.
