The Bronx UFT has launched the Bronx High Schools Historical Preservation Project.
As the NYC Department of Education continues to dismantle the large high schools in the Bronx with no regard for the history and legacy of these educational landmarks, the Bronx UFT is looking to you to help us preserve that rich history.
Somewhere hiding in your school or home is a treasure trove of historical items that needs to be preserved and displayed. If we don’t work to save them, the proud tradition of these Bronx high schools will be lost forever.
For more information and to find out how you can be a part of this project, visit our Facebook page or send us an email at bxhsproject@gmail.com.
