We are Community Education Council 17, serving a diverse, thriving community which includes Crown Heights, Prospect Heights, East Flatbush, Prospect Lefferts Gardens, and families in surrounding areas.
Building futures for our children together
Great schools exist because parents unite and advocate for our children together. This is who District 17 strives to be.
Committed to Our Children
Collectively, we create and share resources to help our children grow into the leaders the world needs.
