Our new Principal - Mr. McKulsky, has begun a much-needed initiative to rebuild the infrastructure, among other rebranding and redevelopment activities at our alma mater - Holmwood Technical High School.
The first accomplishment is evidenced by the spectacular impact of the repainting job recently completed.
One of the critical improvement areas, is the need for additonal classrooms. Consequently, and in response to an urgent request, the Pricincipal has expressed his gratitude to the NY Chapter for a donation of US$20,000 towards construction of at least 3 classrooms. The classrooms are currently under construction and moving towards an expeditious completioN date.
