Ground is broken for a new Academy of American Studies building behind Newcomers High School
The Academy, a public high school started in 1996 by the Board of Education and the Gilder Lehrman Institute, had been split between space in Newcomers High School and an annex across the street. The Department of Education announced plans in 2017 for a new building on the parking lot behind Newcomers, and the groundbreaking took place on December 3, 2018.

Four stories tall over a basement with the cafeteria and music room, it holds 30 standard classrooms, science and technology labs, an art studio, a full-sized library and a regulation gymnasium, with two handball courts and a half-size basketball court outside. That June about 1,200 students attended.
