Everything about Millennium High School New York City totally explained
}| and
}}}.}}
Millennium High School is a
public high school located in 75 Broad Street in
New York City. Unusual to New York public high schools, the school occupies the 11th, 12th, and 13th floors of the former ITT building, in the financial district of Lower Manhattan, according to insideschools.org
(External Link
).
The space within the building was made possible with several million dollars worth of
grants from the
federal government in
2003, as well as contributions from concerned groups such as
New Visions for Public Schools, in an attempt to revitalize the lower
Manhattan area following the
September 11, 2001 attacks. However, the school itself at that point, in order to accommodate student demand, had been, for a year, located in the
High School of Art and Design in Upper Manhattan on an interim basis.
The interior is very modern, colorful, open, and well-lit. The design, being that of a school within an office building, uses larger rooms and gathering spaces more often than corridors and sealed doors, because of the unique architecture the space offers.
The school is mostly an academic based school, despite being considered an alternative, albeit, smaller, high school. However, the school has a unique partnership with the [YMCA] of New York, and provides numerous extra-curricular offerings, sports organizations, and other activities for the students.
FOUNDING: Millennium High School was founded in 2002 with a $500,000 grant from New Visions for Public Schools with money donated from Bill and Melinda Gates, the Carnegie Corporation, and the Open Society Institute. The school's new home is located on the 11th, 12th, and 13th floors of 75 Broad Street. Community Board 1 raised $12 million dollars to build the school.
STAFF:
Principal Robert Rhodes has been a public school teacher and administrator for 16 years. He received Clark University's Secondary Educator of the Year award in 2003.
The staff of Millennium High School all have Master's degrees and attended selective colleges and universities including: NYU, Dartmouth, University of Connecticut, Stanford, Barnard, University of Rochester, Bucknell, Columbia, Michigan, Haverford, MIT, Indiana, Connecticut College, Cornell, Rutgers, Wellesley, Skidmore, Wisconsin, UMass, Tufts, and Duke. Many have been recipients of highly competitive grants and have studied around the world.
Millennium High School is a part of the
New York City Department of Education, and part of
Region 9.
