CREATE Charter High School opened its doors to students in September, 2001 to serve Jersey City youth. Within a few days, staff and students had to face the tragedy of the World Trade Center attack right across the river. The new CREATE school community pulled together in sadness and in strength. The Class of 2005, the very first graduating class, will always remember how their high school years began.
In the first year, CREATE consisted of 95 ninth grade students, one administrator and six teachers. In the second year, the tenth grade was added, and the number of staff members also increased. By 2003-2004, the school grew to accommodate three grades (9, 10, and 11), and a staff of thirty-seven (teachers, administrators and support staff). There were two fully equipped computer labs, a new state-of-the-art science lab, two art studios, and large classrooms for every course. In
2004-2005, the music program, expanded sports program, and business
education program have been added. CREATE was founded by Steve Lipski, the school’s first
principal and the current Executive Director/School Administrator/CEO.
