Neuhaus participates in 22 push ups challenge at twin towers middle school in middletown
Twin Towers Middle School is one of two middle schools in the Enlarged City School District of Middletown in Middletown, New York, United States. It is located at the intersection of Grand Street and Wisner Avenue in the northern section of the city. Completed in 1940, it was used as Middletown's high school until 1976, when the Veraldi Junior High School was expanded and became Middletown High School. Twin Towers Middle School gets its name from the two ornate towers at the front of the building, not the original World Trade Center buildings as many believe.

In recent years the school has been at the center of some controversy. During the sexual-abuse investigation into former school superintendent Robert Sigler, school officials, including principal Gordon Dean, were faulted for doing too little to prevent the abuse. Two years later, violence in the school had reached such a level that a city police official said Twin Towers was responsible for more police complaints than any other school. In one incident, students started a "fight club" that was only stopped when parents learned of it and informed the school. The district had been unsuccessfully seeking federal grant money for a resource officer (a police officer stationed in the school) but later decided to pay for the positions itself.
