Yeshiva High sets sights
for new building by Jan.
Special to The Soulhcrn Israelite
Administrators, teachers and
students at Yeshiva High School of
Atlanta are saying some special
prayers during this High Holiday
season. They are hoping $200,000
can be raised by Oct. 31 for the
down payment on a new school
building.
If this goal is met, Yeshiva’s
faculty and students will move out
of the Atlanta Jewish Community
Center on Peachtree and into their
own school building as early as
Jan. 1, 1987. The building is 47,000
square feet and covers 10 acres off
Chamblee-Tucker Road near 1-85
and 1-285.
According to Rabbi Herbert
Cohen, dean of Yeshiva, help is
coming from parents, board mem
bers and long-time friends of the
school. “We are getting there, but
we still have to raise more funds,”
said Cohen. Full-time teachers re
cently sent a memo to Cohen, stat
ing a willingness to contribute to
the building fund through payroll
deductions.
Many are grateful the AJCC
took the school in 10 years ago.
But today a feeling of frustration
has permeated Yeshiva’s lone hall
way. Cohen knows education alone
won’t sell parents on a scliool that
does not have a lunchroom, a fully-
equipped science lab or an audito
rium of its own.
Jerrold Greenberg, Ph.D., who
has his doctorate in biochemistry
from Columbia University in New
York, and who has headed Yeshi
va’s science department for over
seven years, spoke for many of his
Science teacher Dr. Greenberg with Yeshiva students.
peers when he said, “Sometimes, it
is like living out of a shoe box.
“Once class is over you have to
put all your equipment away, be
cause the classroom is part of the
AJCC, and is shared by other
teachers here. And since there is a
lack of storage space, the equip
ment sits atop one another. In the
science lab, you cannot leave bac
teria or equipment out that might
be dangerous, and you cannot be
in the midst of an experiment when
classes end. 1 have to take the
necessary equipment out before
class, and put it away once class is
over.”
At lunchtime, Greenberg must
vacate the science lab for a French
class. Because the Center turned
the game room into an art gallery,
and the “lunchroom” became a
Holocaust Museum recently, stu-

dents have to eat lunch in one of
seven classrooms. The school had
eight classrooms last year.
“It is frustrating being limited to
the number of classrooms we have,”
said Sandra Cohen, who teaches
math. “Our computer literacy pro
gram, the first of its kind devel
oped in Atlanta some nine years
ago, has been put on hold since
there is no room available to house
these computers.
The new school building has
approximately 29 classrooms, cafe
teria and outdoor basketball courts.
Yeshiva’s tennis teams will play on
the public tennis courts located
directly across the street. The bas
ketball teams would still use the
Center’s facilities. Part of the
building may be occupied by the
Jewish Family Services’ satellite
office. The $200,000 down pay
ment would allow Yeshiva High
School to expand the science lab;
use computers that have been in
storage for the last two years; take
advantage of support materials
(audio-visuals) anytime; hang pull
down maps up in the classroom;
improve communications through
the use of an intercom system, and
a school bell that works; and give
students more time to rehearse
plays.
Adjusting his thick, black-
rimmed glasses, Greenberg added,
“More classrooms would mean more
courses, and that means getting
more teachers. It would be nice if
we had another science teacher
whose strengths are in electronics
and geology. My knowledge in
these subjects are OK, but not
great. A new building would help
us reach our full potential. Its a
credit to the students who achiese
high academics while learning under
such conditions.”
Almost like clockwork, Yeshi
va’s students score 600-700 (out of
800) on SAT achievement tests,
and are accepted to colleges such
as Brown, Penn, Vanderbilt and
Washington University in St. Louis
every year.
Thanks to you...
