Technology High School students are currently forced to have their gym classes in the auditorium, cramped hallways and tiny weight room due to a condemnation by the NJ school board. The current gym (designed to fit only 50 students at a time, but is used by 500) is closed due to inhumane and unethically hazardous conditions (mold, exposed pipes, walls rotting).

Students and teachers banned together and effected change: over the course of a year, they created a plan to build on top of the current Technology High School building, adding 3 floors and providing students with a new space that would inspire students, educators, parents and the community- finally offering what they so desperatley need: a new health and recreation center.

The new construction holds a proposed cost of $15 million dollars and cannot be funded by the school board or taxpayer dollars. As such, we are in desperate need a hero to step in an save the students of Technology High School. A gym is not a luxury or a privilege, it is a basic human necessity that these students should not be robbed from.

  • Ardalys Duharte -.- spell the names right'

  • Sure, It all looks good on paper but what it all comes down to is HOW? Costs for a project of that magnitude would surely surpass initial projections. When I attended Tech High we made use of the gym the best we could. Good Luck with that new gym.

  • it was about time! that gym was embarassing! and tech high was suppose to be one of the best HS of newark but yet they have the worst gym! i remeber how horrible it was we had to go to another school to practice volleyball and if you were in the track team during the winter time we had to parctice in the baseman! :(
