Newark's East Side High School

My father's childhood parish is a block away from this monstrosity. He went to Essex Catholic (RIP), although many of his cousins went to East Side.

My mom did too.

Yes, I was going to mention that Newark is one of the three cities that had to have its schools taken over by Trenton. No improvement, by the way.

Cal, my brother went to Essex Catholic. I thought it was all boys.

Barringer High School was superb back in the day. They still taught the Greek classics when my parents went there. My father can still speak French, learned at Barringer.
