suihfisu: My daughter has achieved so much attending MS321. I don't think she could have gotten a better education anywhere else. Her vocabulary skyrocketed and her performance on tests became better and better. She studies for at least 2 hours everyday and continuously studies and challenges herself each day.
Thank you for teaching her everything she knows, and teaching her wonderful study habits.

Brieahanna R. Johnson: Ms.Russell, Thank you for everything. These past 3 years have been a wonderful learning experience, as well as a fun and joyful one. When I first arrived at Ms.321, I weren't doing as well as I am now. My scores on the state tests wasn't very high. With hard work and the extra effort you put in as well as the other teachers, I accomplished a level 4 on the math state test! I Beleive I could get a 4 but you did. Thank you for taking the student's of Ms321 to visit colleg's such as Manhattanville, Purchase, Rutgers University, and Syracuse. I now have goals and I know what i need to attend one of these colleges. I didn't start out as the top student, but i worked very hard and became the Valedictorian. Thank you for believing in me and for being the best principal ever!
Sincerely,
Brieahanna R. Johnson

I used to go to MS 321 and I was valedictorian of the '08 class, and I have to say at first I didnt like the school. After a while there is a sense of home and you never want to leave. Im now in highschool and my grades are excellent, and I look back now and miss everything about MS 321. Plus side, The building is phenomenal.
