Questar III BOCES is excited to announce the launch of an exciting New Visions program located at Columbia-Greene Community College. The New Visions: Business, Finance and Accounting program will focus on preparing students for exciting careers in business and accounting.
Based upon the New York State Department of Labor 2021 report, the fields of Business and Accounting have forecasted job growth of 13.8% between 2021 and 2031.
This program is open to high school seniors and seeks to introduce students to content and skills needed in several in demand business fields. The program will be located on the Columbia-Greene Community College campus, who has transfer agreements with over 50 colleges and universities and has developed a degree program specifically designed to prepare students for transfer to a bachelor’s degree program in Business Administration. Students will use critical thinking, oral and written communication, creativity and innovation, collaboration, problem solving skills, cultural literacy, and interpersonal skills throughout the year.
As part of students’ participation in this program, they will be exposed to guest speakers, including professionals from the field. This program is uniquely designed for students interested in pursuing careers in Business Administration, Accounting and Finance.
Below is a link to the New Visions Information Page which includes information on all New Visions Programs. The link (https://questariii.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_d0UVTTzGsfw8NYa) to the program application is also included on this page.

Several members of the National Junior Honor Society created Valentine's Day cards on their own time and had friends and teachers sign them to send to Veterans in local nursing homes.
This project is an initiative of The Greene County Veterans Service Agency to brighten the holidays for 80 Veterans presently residing in local, long-term care and assisted living facilities. NJHS will continue participating for each holiday through the remainder of the year. Fantastic job, students!
Last week, the Class of 2025 created and sent over 50 Valentine's Day cards for residents in local nursing homes, an annual initiative led by NYS Senator Michelle Hinchey's office. Way to go, students!
Looking to attend reserve pre-sale tickets for the CDHS production of "West Side Story"? Complete the form using the link in this post to reserve your tickets!
Reservations made between now and Feb. 15 MUST be paid for by the end of the live sale event on Feb. 17. Any tickets not paid for will be "unreserved" and returned to the pool. Checks should be made out to "CD Drama Club"

The January Student of the Month for Cairo-Durham High School is Tashana James, a Junior in the class of 2024. Tashana’s social studies teacher, Mr. Bryan Pisano, describes her as, “an excellent student. She has the highest average in my US History class and got the highest grade on the midterm. She is respectful and participates in class.” All of Tashana’s grades are 97% or higher and she believes she is successful because she always gives her best effort.
In addition to doing well in her classes, Tashana is on the indoor and outdoor track teams. Ms. Moritz, Tashana’s indoor track coach, states that she “was an asset to our team. She always gave it her all at practice and at meets. She competed in three events (300m, 45m, and long jump) at every meet and finished in the top six in all three.” Additionally, she is part of the National Honor Society. She is the most active member of the NHS, helping tutor students after school every week. Her peers describe her as funny, generous, and quiet. Overall, she is a wonderful role model for other students and athletes.
Outside of school, Tashana enjoys dancing, listening to music, and hanging out with her siblings. She also has a passion for fish. After high school Tashana plans to attend college but is currently unsure which one. Tashana is pictured here with her NHS Advisor, Mrs. Alison Manoli. Keep up the great work, Tashana! Cairo-Durham is very proud of you and the example you set for other students.
