640-seat Middle School Considered for Red Hook

RED HOOK – About 30 parents, local business owners, and representatives of the Urban Assembly Harbor School gathered at P.S. 676 The Red Hook Neighborhood School, along with State Senator Velmanette Montgomery, Deputy Borough President Diana Reyna, and District 15’s superintendent Anita Skop, to go over the possibility of a 640-seat middle school coming to Red Hook. 

The school, commonly called “The Harbor Middle School”, will be a pipeline for the Urban Assembly New York Harbor School on Governor’s Island. That school, according to its website, “provides a college and career preparatory education built upon New York City’s maritime experience.”

“From that school, no one faces unemployment,” State Senator Velmanette Montgomery told those at the meeting, which was jointly held by CEC 15 and CB6’s Youth, Human Services and Education Committee. “We’re preparing students for SUNY Maritime. You won’t know how it’s taken us to get to this wonderful point.”
