New Jerusalem Public High School - 665 W Church St
Grades 7-12 meet here from the first Monday in September through the second Friday of June. The student body contains more old New Jerusalem family names than the more diverse East High. The school's team name is the "Commanders".
Anita Pierce: named principal here by Joel Manton shortly after he became superintendent, she's widely respected by her students and the more open-minded portion of the community. One of only a handful of New England women to hold such a post, Pierce still experiences opposition to her appointment and must often defend her policies at school board meetings.
Anthony Clark teaches at the New Jerusalem Public High School and is a good teacher, albeit a very strict disciplinarian. He’s at best respected rather than liked, something that goes for both the students and the other teachers. He has had his eye set on the principal’s position for some time, though it was recently given to Anita Pierce, something that Anthony definitely doesn’t agree with, as he doesn’t consider her a suitable appointment. He tries to keep this opinion to himself, not wanting to further damage his chances of becoming principal in the future, but the attitude still tends to bleed out.
