There has been a school at that key intersection of Palisade Ave. (the King's Highway), Lafayette Ave., and Tenafly Rd. since 1804, when a wooden schoolhouse was built. In 1818 prominent local residents replaced it with a more permanent sandstone structure called the Liberty Union School. In 1850, that simple, graceful building was moved to 486 Tenafly Rd., where it still stands.

Being linked to New York Arts & Cultural networks will raise the quality of life in Englewood, bringing back the energy in the Arts, the dynamic cultural history for which Englewood is known. Longer-term, the school will be a major benefit to Bergen County, a first step, with many to follow, toward making the Hackensack River Basin a tri-state Arts & Cultural Destination for tourists, new residents and businesses.

Who has been involved in exploring the possibility of a public high school for the arts at the Russell C. Major Liberty School?

Advisors & Supporters, a community-based, grassroots group of volunteers in Englewood, came together and reviewed the rationale for a public high school for the arts that was first presented to the city n 2008. This use was confirmed in the 2014 Master Plan. The proposed school would be a collaborative effort between the Bergen County Technical School and Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in New York. Proponents believe this extraordinary partnership of two institutions ranked nationally near the top in their respective fields, represents an extraordinary, once-in-a-generation opportunity for Englewood, Bergen County, and the State of New Jersey. The Advisors & Supporters emphasize that extensive public engagement will be sought for the project's development. Interests has been expressed by Bergen County and the City of Englewood, but neither have made commitments.
