Dear PS 233 Students and Families,
​
As we bring this school year to a close, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for a year filled with growth, connection, and academic achievement. As the new principal of PS 233, it has truly been an honor to serve this incredible community of scholars and families.
This year, we have grown—not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well. Together, we’ve built a strong foundation rooted in love, support, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Families and students, thank you for partnering with us every step of the way. Your dedication to education and your belief in our mission made all the difference.
To our devoted teachers and staff: thank you for your hard work, your heart, and your tireless support of our students. I am in awe of your passion and the impact you make every single day. It is a privilege to lead and serve alongside such an extraordinary team.
As we look ahead, I am filled with hope and excitement. I know that the 2025–2026 school year will be a year of even greater excellence. Thank you for a phenomenal year—your love, trust, and commitment are the heartbeat of PS 233.
​
Wishing you a restful, joyful summer.

With gratitude and admiration,
Debra Cunningham, Principal

ABOUT P.S. 233
A Community of Learners
P.S. 233, The Langston Hughes School, is a public 3-K through Grade 5 elementary school. We have faithfully served our East Flatbush community for over 90 years, and focus on educating the whole child - socially, emotionally, and academically.
Our talented and dedicated teachers provide students a strong foundation in all subject areas. We ensure opportunities for students to engage in critical thinking and problem solving, effective communication, collaboration and creativity as part of their school experience. We provide for varied and effective use of technology and real-world application of knowledge and skills.
Our students receive specialized courses in music instruction and performance, library media, computer science, robotics, horticulture and hydroponics, and physical education. Struggling students and those with special needs are offered the additional supports needed to grow and flourish as learners.
All of our classroom teachers have earned Master's degrees in Education. Most of our students are of Caribbean or Middle Eastern descent.
"When a man starts out to build a world,
He starts first with himself."
