Alfred E. Smith Career and Technical Education High School is a vocational high school in the Melrose section of South Bronx, Bronx, New York. It was originally built in the early 20th Century as the "Bronx Continuation School" for students who left the school system. The school eventually became a vocational high school in the 1920s. The school was named after the former New York governor and Democratic nominee for president, Alfred E. Smith in 1965.[1] Its address is 333 E. 151 Street. The school is near the Third Avenue and E. 149th Street station of the 2 and 5 IRT trains. The principal is Rene Cassanova, and its enrollment is 1086 students.
The school offers automotive, home construction, plumbing, and heating/air-conditioning ventilation programs. There are plenty of shops where students work on real cars brought in by people in the community. The school also has a room large enough for those studying carpentry to construct a full size wooden frame house.[2]
The New York City Department of Education planned in 2010 to close the school but the plan was cancelled after strong protests from the community.[3][4][5][6]
