"If it's a fight the city is after, supporters of Jamaica High School are going to give it to them.
Staff, students and alumni are doing everything they can to keep the 117-year-old institution open after the city announced its proposal to shutter the school - where famous alumni like director Francis Ford Coppola and former U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell once walked through the halls.
'We're going to fight the closure of Jamaica High School with every ounce of strength we have,' said social studies teacher and union representative James Eterno. 'We're going to mobilize and organize the Jamaica community, the students, the parents and any other friend of this school.'"
