The Chemistry Department at Manhattan comprehensive Night and Day high school has just undergone new changes in the department with the introduction of our new laboratory and the purchasing of new equipments and chemicals.
The aim of the department is to offer a top notch regents chemistry class which provides students with the theoretical background to do well on the state exam and a strong practical foundation in laboratory work.
Thus the hope is that students will use their chemical experiences at Manhattan Comprehensive to seek opportunities in higher education and introductory chemistry careers.
The department has students who are studying chemistry or applied chemistry subjects at some of the best colleges in this country. We also have students who have decided to postpone their college careers for the sake of employment at various laboratories in New York City.
At present the science department at Manhattan Comprehensive collaborates with various medical university laboratories in the city in providing student laboratory technicians. In the future the chemistry department hopes to expand on these connections and forge new partnerships with other institutions in the city.
