“Our kids are doing incredibly well, especially given the lack of resources our district has had to deal with due to lack of state aid funding. They will be able to achieve even more with a new High School and smaller class sizes,” says Mayor Nicholas Sacco.

The flyer states the new high school will save tax payers $150 million dollars by converting the current High Tech High School into a new North Bergen High School by 2019.
