P.S. 66 Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School, formally known as Brooklyn Hills School, is a historic school building in Richmond Hill, Queens, New York. It was designed by architect C. B. J. Snyder (1860–1945) and built in 1898. It is a 2+1⁄2-story brick structure in the Romanesque style. It has a prominent, off-center tower with belfry. It features a slate roof and decorative stucco frieze. The school has a fortress-like appearance, including prominent round arches highlighting window openings, and a distinctive six-story tower.^[2] The building was restored in 2001 and remains in use as a New York City Public School.^[3]

P.S. 66 is also a relic from the time when Richmond Hill was a farming community, and was transitioning into an urban residential neighborhood.^[4]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.^[1] In 2008, Caroline Kennedy petitioned the New York City Council to make P.S. 66 into a New York City designated landmark.^[5] It was listed as a New York City landmark in 2010.^[4]
