Upon entering Townsend Harris on the first day of school, returning students noticed a new shadow looming over their heads.

The scaffolding exists as a result of construction that is being done to the school’s roof to stop further water leaks from causing damage to rooms.

This year’s Valedictorian and Salutatorian sat down with The Classic for a different kind of interview.
