Welcome to Public School 9, Sarah Smith Garnet!
We are a pre-kindergarten to grade 5 public elementary school that serves the vibrant and diverse community of Prospect Heights, Brooklyn.
Our mission is to develop students with insatiable curiosity who are compassionate leaders. We are committed to the academic success and personal development of every child, and we celebrate our students for being their authentic selves.
Our School Leadership Team (SLT) is a group of staff and parents who develop educational policies for our school. The SLT is responsible for developing our school’s Comprehensive Educational Plan (CEP), and also make sure there are resources to support those policies.

We host a series of daytime in-person Early Childhood tours for our Pre-K and Kindergarten programs. Please refer to our public calendar for any upcoming dates.
Early Childhood tours at PS 9 will begin November 9, 2023.
We're thrilled to present the launch of the all-new PS9 website! Tremendous thanks goes out to Julia Daunis, who worked throughout the summer to ensure this brand new web experience for our families. Thanks also to Charmaine Derrell-Jacob for her support and dedication, and the past & present members of the PTO Web Team who contributed greatly throughout the years.
And thanks to all of you! Without you, the members of the PS9 PTO (who voted for this expenditure in June), this project would not have been funded. This is truly your donation dollars at work. This new site is more flexible than the old version, allowing changes to be made more regularly and more easily, while also remaining compliant with web accessibility standards.
There will be additional content added soon, so please check back for updates.
Elementary school farmer scientists at PS 9 show off some of the bright, beautiful basil harvested in their classroom!
This month, we welcomed upstate farmers and officials from the US Dept. of Agriculture’s New York State Farm Service Agency to one of our Brooklyn farm classrooms for a visit and tour of what cutting-edge urban agriculture can look like. Joined by our Executive Director Manuela Zamora and Director of Program Development Megan Nordgren, the farmer scientists at P.S. 9 The Sarah Smith Garnet Elementary School led the way, showing off the rich strawberries, luscious lettuce and baby cucumbers growing right in their classroom. Students also guided their guests through a harvest, collecting their crops for cleaning, weighing, and sampling, and showed off their science skills by answering questions from their harvest worksheets with ease. We’re incredibly proud of the hard work these future climate leaders are doing in their hydroponic classroom and are eager to continue setting the bar for sustainability science education in NYC. P.S. 9 partners with NY Sun Works, who are the recipient of the 2023 Congressionally Funded Community Project (CFCP) earmark funding, thanks to support from Senator and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, as well as Rep. Yvette Clarke, Rep. Ritchie Torres, and Minority Leader & Rep. Hakeem Jeffries.
