When the seven Queens Turnaround high schools reopen their doors, it will be under a new name.
The names were chosen through a process of engagement with students, staff, community members, alumni and elected officials.
“I want to congratulate all 24 schools on a thorough process to propose school names that honor their histories, their neighborhoods and their new visions for success,” said Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott.
The schools new names are as follows:
