21K540 John Dewey High School

John Dewey High SchoolHeather Adelle is the principal of John Dewey High School. John Dewey High School is located in the Gravesend section of Brooklyn in District 21. Antoinette Mathis and Stephanie Rosalia are the two librarians at the school.

John Dewey High School was founded on the educational principles of John Dewey and the librarians want to develop a vision for the library that is founded on John Dewey's beliefs that experiential learning is the best kind of learning: project-based and hands-on. To that end, they want to inspire curiosity, innovation, and exploration by developing a makerspace and a podcast studio.
