Trump was a bully at very young age. He threw rocks to his neighbor's yard. In addition, he took the train from Queens to Manhatten without parental approval in 7th grade. Hence, his father sent him to NYMA in 8th grade.
On March 3, 2015, NYMA filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, facing serious financial difficulties from low enrollment. Instead of opening for the fall semester in September 2015, NYMA closed and was sold at auction to a group of Chinese investors who reopened the school in November.
Jie Zhang, principal of Stuyvesant High School, has been named the new Superintendent of New York Military Academy. Ms. Zhang will assume the position of Superintendent of NYMA on July 22, 2016.
The announcement was made today by the Board of Trustees and Mr. Vincent Mo, the chair of the search committee.
Before she became the principal of Stuyvesant High School, one of the best high schools in the nation, Ms. Zhang served as the principal of Queens High School for the Sciences at York College which became one of the top high schools in the country during her tenure. Ms. Zhang also worked as the network leader for Children First Network 201.
“Ms. Zhang is a world-class educator and a proven leader,” said Mr. Vincent Mo, “her exceptional educational background, management experience, and profound understanding of how today’s students learn and lead will bring NYMA into an unparalleled future. I’d like to thank all the individuals who contributed their time and energy throughout the search process.”
