Howard T. Herber Middle School is slated to get all-new seating by next year.

The renovations will cost $250,000, and is being funded by grants secured by Assemblywoman Taylor Darling. She made the announcement prior to a preview of the Malverne High School production of “Aida” that was performed in the auditorium for local senior citizens.

The seating upgrade is part of a full auditorium renovation that will startthis summer and will be completed in time for the 2024-2025 school year.

Performances from all district schools take place on the Howard T. Herber auditorium stage. It’s the heart of the Malverne theatrical community, school officials say. With this makeover, Malverne will have a state-of-the-art facility to showcase the talent that is being fostered by the young students of Malverne.
