Dr. Marion A. Bolden Student Center
The Dr. Marion A. Bolden Student Center, located at 230 Broadway was opened in May of 2008 amid much fanfare and excitement. The innovative vision of former Newark Public Schools superintendent, Dr. Bolden, this unique facility is the new home of the Mic It Up Teen Supper Club and is for the exclusive use of high school students to gain additional academic support, career related training, as well as access to space for study, research, and student leadership group meetings. Through utilization of on-site studios and participation in workshops, mini-camps, and a variety of other activities students will have extraordinary and valuable learning opportunities that will translate to actual job-related experiences, better classroom performance, and improved test scores. Though the schedule of activities and initiatives changes frequently to continuously expose students to a variety of options, some recent activities include: radio broadcasting and communications, Hip Hop sound production, poetry writing, drama, martial arts, Yoga, and a teen talk show.
