Fort Hamilton H.S. opened 80 years ago
Fort Hamilton H.S., on Shore Road between 83rd and 85th Streets in Bay Ridge, first opened on Sept. 8, 1941, which means that for the current school year the community and alumni should be happily celebrating its 80th anniversary.
Sadly, while the school celebrated its 50th, 60th, 65th, 70th and 75th anniversaries with souvenir journals, open houses and events in the girls’ gym and auditorium open to past graduates, parents and supporters, it sure looks like it won’t happen this year.
According to a spokesperson for the FHHS Alumni Association, and with COVID-19 still lingering, the principal has put the brakes on any similar celebrations.
