Closing Bell: Adams St. High School Aiming for '08 Opening
We just noticed that a new high school building is getting built at the corner of Adams and Johnson Streets in Downtown Brooklyn. A Google search for the “Adams Street Hight School” turned up nothing. Does anyone know anything about this project? Will the new school have a particular niche? GMAP

This is great! How are the students chosen to attend the new high school?
This school sounds like a good idea. Although a middle school is badly needed in the area, that probably would not have been a good place for younger kids, considering the traffic on Adams Street.
the building was the horribly decrepit Brooklyn Family Court until 330 Jay street (the tower directly behind it) replaced it in 2004. Then the building was mothballed. The City considered selling it EDC as a development property… good to see it’s being kept in the City and re-used, especially as a school.
Complaining about a school being built, 10:48, just makes you sound like a jackass.
Yes, believe it or not, some high school kids understand that they’ll have to pay their own way in live, that Mom and maybe Dad, won’t be sending them to a private college, and that they won’t be able to live at home forever, so they better prepare for getting a job. They are not folks wasting their time on this blog considering whether their inheritance will eventually pay off the bloated mortgage on that $1.5 M townhouse.
Isn’t that “invertebrate” copy editor…
Apologies, I am an invetrate pedant hater
been drinkin the koolaid since i was a wee lad and don’t plan on stopping any time soon. love is intoxicating.

What’s wrong with a high school for criminal justice. I went to John Jay High School in 70’s. Upon graduating I got a job in the criminal court. I was encouraged to take the test for Court Officer, Police Officer and Correction Officer. Upon my 21st birthday I entered the Police academy. I have friends who went to Grady who became suceesful mechanics, friends that went to Westinghouse who became draftsmen, friends who went to Clara Barton and became LPN’s all upon High School graduation. Career specific academic and vocational schools might be just what is needed today. Every kid is not going to pass the regents without which they can no longer get a diploma.
The header should read “Adams Street” rather than “Adam Street.” I can’t help myself. I am an inveterate copy editor.
