Academies at Englewood was founded in 2002 after fifteen-plus-years of arguments between the Board of Education of Englewood and the Board of Education of Tenafly and the Board of Education of Englewood Cliffs. Dr. John Grieco created the new academies at Englewood to improve city classrooms and attract white students.
The academies are Finance and Business, Information Systems, Law and Public Safety, and Pre-Engineering. The last, BioMedicine was added in 2004. It shares a campus with Dwight Morrow High School.
Dwight Morrow High School opened in 1932 and graduated its first class in 1934. Named after banker, ambassador and senator, Dwight Morrow, the high school brought students together from all of the city’s four wards and became one of Englewood’s few integrated schools. It has graduated numerous notable alumni. It currently shares it's campus with Academics at Englewood.
