One of the borough’s newest, most exciting schools played host to the city’s top education official on the second day of the 2022-2023 school year.

On Friday, city Schools Chancellor David Banks visited the Young Women’s Leadership School of Staten Island in Stapleton, a school dedicated to molding the minds of the world’s future female leaders.

The school, which is temporarily sharing a brand new $77 million four-story building with two other schools at 45 Waverly Place, welcomed its inaugural class of 64 sixth graders on Thursday, just one day prior to the chancellor’s visit.
