[edit] History

There is no information about when the school was founded, why it was founded, and who founded it on the school's website.[4]

The current Hoboken High School was built in the mid-1960s. Prior to that time, A.J. Demarest High School, dedicated in the autumn of 1911, served as the city's high school.[5] When the current high school was built, Demarest became a K-9 establishment, and is currently one of two middle schools in the district.

In 1997, one of the school's history teachers, John A. Sacci, was shot and killed by Geraisimov Metaxas, who then shot and killed himself.[6].


[edit] Student body

The student body of the school is 67% hispanic, 20% black, 11% White, 2% Asian, and 1% Native American[7].
