Welcome to the Rochester EOC
Dear REOC students:
Thank you for choosing the Rochester EOC. I hope all is well.
Our approach to your education is unique and we support holistic learning. Throughout your time at the REOC our goal is for each of you to gain knowledge in your academic endeavors or vocational pursuits, become involved in your community, and grow in your personal responsibility.
Over the past fifty years, REOC has been in the center of the Greater Rochester Area, supporting economic growth and development through the community-based academic and workforce development programs we offer. Our teachers, counselors, support staff, and administrators, with the support of SUNY Brockport and SUNY UCAWD have worked together to provide stellar education and needed assistance to ensure that you are successful.
We wish you all the best, and we look forward to meeting as many of you as possible throughout the Fall. Please remember to ask questions and to utilize our many supportive services available to you.
Welcome to the REOC family. May your experience at the REOC be transformative similar to our countless graduates.
Please stay safe.
