South Shore High School (Brooklyn)
South Shore High School participated in City University of New York's College Now program, which provided senior-year students the opportunity to take courses for college credit on the high school campus. The program was run in cooperation with Kingsborough Community College.
While South Shore High was relatively problem-free through the 1970s and most of the 1980s, there were a few incidents, particularly during the 1970–71 school year, starting with interracial fighting in the opening month of school. Several student riots occurred during that opening year, forcing its first principal, Max Bromer, to resign. A riot occurred outside the school on the last day of classes in June 1987; one student was shot to death off campus in May 1990; in July 1990 a student was shot right outside the school in the rotunda and died in the hospital five days later. Another student was stabbed to death in a stairwell in September 1992.
Because of increasing security problems, South Shore High School is now closed and its final class graduated in June 2014. Five smaller schools are now operating on the campus: Brooklyn Theater Arts High School, Brooklyn Bridge Academy, Brooklyn Generation School, Victory Collegiate High School and, Academy for Conservation and the Environment, as well as the South Shore Young Adult Borough Center (YABC), an alternative high school evening program and a charter school, making a total of seven schools in the building.
The Brooklyn Comprehensive Night High School operated on the campus of South Shore High School beginning in 1970, but was closed in 2014.
