Preston High School in the Bronx celebrated a significant victory on the first day back from spring break, as students and staff rejoiced over the news that the school would not be closing. Following efforts to save the institution, the school will continue operations thanks to a new agreement involving its property ownership. The community's relief was palpable, with students expressing joy at staying with friends and faculty highlighting the culmination of their hard work. The arrangement with the Bally's Foundation assures the school's future for years to come, reinforcing the importance of community advocacy.
I was always stressed about finding a new school for my senior year, and I'm glad that I'll be able to stay here with my friends and graduate.
It's felt like two months of just such hard work has finally paid off.
I've literally been thinking about this for, like, two and a half months. I just see it come through in my own eyes. It's like a feeling. I don't think I will ever feel again. We got our school back.
I'm so happy. And the girls are extremely happy. They've been talking all week about it.
