3. Welcome
P.S./I.S. 119 has been a Gifted and Talented site for our middle-school students since We pride ourselves on our success with our students and take seriously the preparation that is needed for college and careers. We were able to expand this practice in the elementary grades. We recognize where our students need to be to enter high school and begin that process when they first enter our building.
