Mayor and NYC Schools Chancellor visit new Sunset Park High School

Mayor Bloomberg joined representatives from the Department of Education, elected officials and community advocates for a press conference at the new Sunset Park High School to announce the creation of 42 new schools opening in Fall 2009.

"This struggle for a public high school began more than 38 years ago and no one has given up," said Julie Stein Brockway, Chair of the Sunset Park High School Task Force. "It is truly a thrill, and more important has been not only getting the physical building that we wanted so desperately, but getting a quality institution inside this building."
