Thomas Jefferson High School is a former high school in the East New York section of Brooklyn, New York. The New York City Department of Education closed the school and broke it into several different schools in 2007, owing to low graduation rates.[1]
Located at 400 Pennsylvania Avenue, the school, now known as the Jefferson Campus, is now the site of High School for Civil Rights, FDNY High School for Fire and Life Safety, the Performing Arts and Technology High School, and the WATCH (World Academy for Total Community Health) School.[1]
Groundbreaking for the school was in 1922, mayor John Francis Hylan officiating. Thomas Jefferson was one of seven public high schools in New York to receive a M.P. Möller pipe organ in the 1920s.[2]
