TheGregorio Luperón High School for Math & Science (in Spanish:Secundaria Gregorio Luperón) is located in District 6 of the borough ofManhattan, New York, United StatesThe school is named after GeneralGregorio Luperón, aDominican president, military general, businessman, liberal politician, freemason, and Statesman who was one of the leaders in the Restoration of the Dominican Republic after the Spanish annexation in 1863.
Luperón was founded in 1992 as a transitional program for newly arrived Spanish-speaking immigrants, in 2001 it was converted into a full 4-year diploma-granting high school. It graduated its first class in 2003.
For more than twelve years, Luperón had problems with overcrowded hallways, faulty air conditioning and heating, and a lack of gym and lab facilities. Parents and students worked on a campaign to move to a larger space. After many petitions, protests, and public hearings, they achieved their goal: In 2008, a new edifice was constructed at a cost of $41 million, including not just laboratories and a gymnasium, but a larger library, better internet access, and music and art classrooms.
