On April 13, 2007, there has been a decision from Major Bloomberg and schools chancellor Joel Klein that they will open a high school in Washington Heights named “Gregorio Luperon High School for Science and Mathematics.” They decided on $34 million to build this school. The school will give good opportunities for students to be in a school that has many high quality resources including a technology lab, a gymnasium, and a soundproof music room. The people that were planning to build the Gregorio Luperon High School are Deputy Mayor of Education and community development, Dennis Walcott, Deputy Chancellor of Education, Kathleen Grimm; School Construction Authority President, Sharon Greenberger, and a host of elected officials and community resident, which chose to have 500 students in the school. Mayor Bloomberg believes that these students could be successful in this school because he says “all of students are entitled to a quality education in schools that meets their needs. We are happy to make good on our promise to the Washington Heights community in making the new Gregorio Luperon High School a reality.” This school will have a library and a media center that will allow students to take advantage in exploring new ideas. Also there will be a gym that will consist of several of sports, such as basketball, volleyball, and baseball that will allow them to “grow and become competitive.” Chancellor Klein adds, “I’m thrilled that the students here with us today will have this beautiful new facility. I look forward to coming back to see them excelling in their new building.” http://www.nyc.gov/portal/site/nycgov/menuitem.c0935b9a57bb4ef3daf2f1c701c789a0/index.jsp?pageID=mayor_press_release&catID=1194&doc_name=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nyc.gov%2Fhtml%2Fom%2Fhtml%2F2007a%2Fpr107-07.html&cc=unused1978&rc=1194&ndi=1
