Queens High School of Teaching opens, splitting its students into three small learning communities
The Queens High School of Teaching, Liberal Arts and the Sciences, a public high school in Glen Oaks, opened in the fall of 2003. Planners first meant it to run all year with brief vacations, but it ended up on a normal academic calendar. The plan was to enroll 300 freshmen and grow each year, but some months before opening 60 sophomores were admitted too. Principal Nigel Pugh divided the school into three small learning communities, Emerson, Freire and Montessori, each with its own teachers.

The campus grounds once held an extension of Creedmoor Psychiatric Center, though the high school has no affiliation with the hospital. In 2009-2010 the remaining handful of those older buildings were demolished to clear space for a sports field. The school held the official opening of its athletic field on April 2, 2016.
“During the 2009–2010 school year, the last few buildings were torn down for a sports field. On 2 April 2016, the School officially opened the athletic field.”
