At the start of a new school year, students, faculty and alumna at Preston High School — given new life after being on the verge of closure in the spring — had another reason to be proud Thursday.
On Sept. 4, the intersection of Shurz and Brinsmade Avenues in Throggs Neck became known as Preston High School Way, in recognition of the longstanding girls’ Catholic school that ultimately triumphed over its owners’ effort to close. Council Member Kristy Marmorato, who attended Preston for her first two years of high school, and Council Member and Majority Leader Amanda Farías, who graduated from Preston in 2007, led the co-naming ceremony.
