History
Manual Arts High School was founded in 1910 in the middle of bean fields, one-half mile from the nearest bus stop. It was the third high school in Los Angeles, California after Los Angeles High School and L.A. Polytechnic High School, and is the oldest high school still on its original site in the Los Angeles Unified School District. The school that would eventually become Lincoln High had been founded decades earlier but was still an elementary school at this time.
One of the school's first teachers was Ethel Percy Andrus (1911 - 1915). In 1916 Dr. Andrus became California's first woman high school principal at Lincoln High School in East Los Angeles. She later founded AARP.
After three semesters in an abandoned grammar school building, Manual Arts High School was opened on Vermont Avenue. After the 1933 Long Beach earthquake, the entire campus was rebuilt, constituting the present Manual Arts High School campus adjacent to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and USC. In 1995, 'The Arts' became a Pacific Bell Education First Demonstration Site joining thirteen other demonstration sites in California, and in 1996 the school was named a California Distinguished School. In 1998, Manual Arts was officially granted Digital High School status.
The 2005–2006 school year opened with small learning communities (SLCs), three on each track totaling nine SLCs. Manual Arts was relieved by the opening of Santee Education Complex in 2005.[2]
West Adams High School
The school was relieved in 2007 when West Adams Preparatory High School opened. During the same year, a section of the Manual Arts attendance zone was transferred to Belmont High School.[3]
In July 2008, the school became part of MLA Partner Schools through LAUSD's newly created iDesign Schools Division. MLA Partner Schools, in collaboration with West Ed, will operate Manual Arts on a 5-year performance contract approved by the LAUSD School Board.
The school was expected be relieved by Central Region High School 16 (which became Dr. Maya Angelou High School (Los Angeles, California)) when that school opened in 2011,[4] and by Augustus Hawkins High School when that school opens in 2012.[5]
In the 2011–2012 school year, Manual Arts will return to a traditional school calendar schedule.[6] As a result, several of the school’s small learning communities will be restructured and the number of security on campus will be reduced.[7] The 'Blewett Football Field is named in honor of James Blewett who was a standout Manual Arts football player and longtime Head coach with 9 Los Angeles City titles and 225 wins.
Student body
The racial make-up of the school is mostly Latinos and African-Americans and the neighborhood surrounding the school reflects the same make-up.
During the 2004–2005 school year, MAHS had 3,766 students,[8] including:
- 3,054 Hispanics (81.1%)
- 701 African-Americans (18.6%)
- 5 White Americans (1%)
- 4 Asian Americans (1%)
- 2 Native Americans (1%)
As of 2010, the dropout rate at Manual Arts was 68%.[9]
With more than 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch provided by the Los Angeles Unified School district.[10]

Student Demographics
Student Enrollment
The total enrollment at Manual Arts Senior High School is 1539 students, making it a large high school, in the top 25% of all California high schools by size.
Attending Manual Arts High will feel like attending a small college. You'll have a few hundred students in your class, enough to provide an interesting set of activities, sports, and classes to try. But compared to the largest high schools in California, the student body size won't be overwhelming.
Growth in Student Body Size
Is Manual Arts Senior High School growing or shrinking? This will help you see trends in where the school is headed.
From our calculations, the enrollment at Manual Arts High has decreased over the past few years. We calculate this by comparing enrollment in grades 9 to 12.
Male Students | Female Students | All Students | |
---|---|---|---|
9th grade | 216 | 180 | 396 |
10th grade | 180 | 159 | 339 |
11th grade | 195 | 186 | 381 |
12th grade | 232 | 191 | 423 |
As you can see in the table above, the senior class is 27 students larger than the freshman class. This suggests that Manual Arts High is shrinking in size and taking on fewer students.
There are a few reasons this can happen. The population of Los Angeles could be decreasing, thus sending fewer students into Manual Arts High. Alternatively, other schools (like charter or private schools) might be appearing, drawing students away.
Gender Split
Are there more boys or girls at Manual Arts Senior High School?
From our statistics, Manual Arts High has a 54:46 split between male and female students in the high school grades.
Manual Arts High has a balanced male-female ratio that's largely representative of the general population in Los Angeles County. Since the student body is roughly half and half, it should feel like there are equal numbers of boys and girls in your classes.
This usually means that Manual Arts High doesn't strongly select for either males or females, unlike other schools that have a large majority of males or females.
Ethnicity Breakdown
What's the racial diversity at Manual Arts Senior High School? Does one ethnicity make up most of the student body, or is it fairly balanced?
From our statistics, Manual Arts High has a homogenous student body, with the overwhelming majority of students identifying as one ethnicity. Only a third of California schools show as little diversity as Manual Arts High does. When attending class, most students will be of the same ethnicity, with some variation.
The majority of students at Manual Arts High are Hispanic. In California, Hispanic students make up the majority of all students at 51.5%, and are thus the most common ethnicity. Predominantly Hispanic schools are the most common type of homogenous school, and Manual Arts High fits within this category.

American Indian/Alaska Native | 0.0% | 1 |
Asian | 0.1% | 2 |

White | 0.3% | 6 |
Hawaiian Native/Pacific Islander | 0.1% | 3 |
Two or more races | 0.0% | 0 |

Income Level of Manual Arts High Families
What are the family incomes of students at Manual Arts Senior High School? To determine this, we look at the number of students who qualify for free or reduced lunches, a classification by the US federal government.
To qualify for a reduced price meal, family income needs to be below 185% of the federal poverty guidelines. For a family of 4, this means an income of around $45,000 or below.
To qualify for a free meal, family income needs to be below 130% of the federal poverty guidelines. For a family of 4, this means an income of around $32,000 or below.
The lower the percentage of students who qualify for free or reduced price meals, the higher the income levels are likely to be.
At Manual Arts High, 3.5% of students qualify for reduced-price lunches, and 86.8% qualify for free lunches.
This means Manual Arts High has a high percentage of students at or near poverty. Almost a third of all schools in California show this level of poverty, and by National Center for Education Statistics standards, Manual Arts High can be classified as a high poverty school. The income level of families in Los Angeles is thus likely to be low.
Number | Percent | |
---|---|---|

As with ethnicity, this likely reflects the surrounding community in Los Angeles and doesn't speak much about the school itself.
Unfortunately, schools in areas of lower income levels are likely to be more poorly funded. As a result, they might feature less advanced coursework like AP/IB classes, and you may not have a full range of sports and extracurriculars to draw from. Because Manual Arts High is an especially high poverty-level school, it might not have the resources you need to meet your full potential.
You definitely don't have control over the city, the school, or other families, but you can structure your own learning to be more productive. If you'd like to open yourself to more opportunities, you can look into whether it's possible to transfer to a nearby school with higher income levels.
If not, don't be alarmed - it's possible that Manual Arts High has all that you need for your ambition. And you can definitely be proactive about learning outside of your school, looking to your community or to the Internet to find more resources.

How safe is Manual Arts Senior High School to attend? Can you expect a lot of conflict as a student here?
To study this, we look at disciplinary data for two types of incidents at Manual Arts High: referrals to law enforcement (when incidents are reported to police), and arrests.
These are the most serious disciplinary actions available to school administration and are more severe than suspensions or expulsions. Suspensions are often discretionary and can be given just for being disruptive in class. In contrast, law enforcement referrals and arrests often indicate incidents that put the safety of other Manual Arts High students at risk.
In the school year of 2011-2012, there were 37 referrals to law enforcement (18 male, 19 female), and 0 school-related arrests. This is out of a total enrollment of 3153 students.
To put this into perspective, most California schools (59% of them) reported 0 law enforcement referrals and arrests.
This means that 1.1 Manual Arts High has minor safety issues. For every 100 students, there were just 1.1 law-enforcement related actions, but this is still higher than 75% of California schools.
With this record, is Manual Arts Senior High School significantly different from other schools in the area? It could be that Manual Arts High has an especially bad record, or it could be that the local area shows a pattern.
Compare this school with other high schools in the same school district, using the following table:

Frank Lanterman | 0 | 0 | 222 |
Youth Opportunities Unlimited | 6 | 0 | 323 |

Academic Performance
Now we get to a major aspect of assessing a high school: academic performance. How good of an education will you get at Manual Arts Senior High School? Will you be competitive for college? Will you have access to advanced classes?
We've compiled everything we could find about Manual Arts High's academics here.
Graduation Rate
To start off, an important benchmark of academic achievement is graduation rate. For all students who start high school at Manual Arts High, the state of California wants as many students to graduate as possible, since a high school diploma can mean a big difference in getting a job.
At Manual Arts High, 66% (of 763) Manual Arts High students graduated within four years of starting high school.
Here's how this stacks up to other schools. The California state government has defined 90% as a target rate. The state average is around 80-85%.
Manual Arts High is in the 33rd percentile of all public high schools in California for graduation rate. This is below average. Generally, a graduation rate of above 90% is considered good and well above average, and below 75% is well below average.
Note: This data comes from a few years back, but the trends are likely to stay the same, since schools don't get significantly better or worse within a short period of time.
Standardized Testing
Next, we'll look at another major piece of high school academics: standardized testing performance for Manual Arts Senior High School students. These are tests that are administered to large populations of students for comparison purposes.
Let’s start by taking a look at the data for nationally administered standardized tests.
SAT Scores
As you probably know, the SAT is a critical test used for college admissions. The higher the score you get, the better your academic performance compared to students nationwide, and the easier it is to get into top colleges.
We did in-depth research and found the average Manual Arts Senior High School SAT scores.
The average composite SAT score is a 1140 out of 2400, compared to a national average of 1500. Each year, roughly 312 at Manual Arts High take the SAT.
This is a very low SAT score, putting Manual Arts High in the bottom 25% of all California schools, and well below the national average. Only 5% of SAT takers here score above the national average. Unfortunately, this suggests that most students attending Manual Arts High are not high-achieving, and may find it difficult to be admitted to a good college.
Note, however, that an average is just an average - you still have the potential to rise above expectations. If you work hard and earn an SAT score well above Manual Arts High's average, you'll have a great shot at entering a good college.
Here's a breakdown of SAT scores by section:
Average SAT Scores (2013-2014)
Source | Critical Reading | Math | Writing | Composite |
---|---|---|---|---|
Manual Arts High | 378 | 380 | 385 | 1140 |
California | 498 | 510 | 496 | 1504 |
United States | 495 | 511 | 484 | 1490 |
Note that the SAT has since changed to a 1600 scale, but the trends above for your high school are likely to continue. Just use this guide to convert between the old 2400 scale and the new 1600 scale.

In California, the ACT is less popular than the SAT. Fewer students take the ACT, and typically these students are more motivated and academically prepared for college. Therefore, it's harder to compare Manual Arts Senior High School ACT scores with the rest of the country.
At Manual Arts High, the average ACT composite score was 15, compared to the nationwide average of 20. Each year, roughly 133 out of 1539 total students take the ACT.
Unfortunately, this is well below average performance, putting Manual Arts High in the bottom 25% of high schools in California. Most students who take the ACT here are well below the national average.
Since the ACT tests what you learn in school, this may be a warning sign that the quality of education you'll receive at Manual Arts High may be lacking compared to other schools.

Advanced Placement (AP)
Advanced Placement (AP) classes are college-level courses that are an additional academic challenge may give Manual Arts Senior High School students credit for college.
Here's what we're looking for: high average AP test scores as well as high AP passing rates.
AP Scores
Every year, roughly 332 students in grades 9-12 at Manual Arts High take 621 AP exams. It's important to understand how students score on the AP - earning a 3, 4, or 5 on the AP test means passing the test and often earning college credit.
The average score of all AP exams taken at Manual Arts High is 1.5 out of 5.
Compared to schools across California, this score puts Manual Arts High at below average performance. On AP tests, the passing score is considered a 3, and unfortunately the number of students who don't pass is greater than the number of do. This performance places Manual Arts Senior High School in the bottom 25 % of schools for AP tests.
This isn't all bad news for you, though. It's still good that Manual Arts High offers AP classes so you have the opportunity to take courses at a college level. Your school might be new to offering AP courses, and typically teachers get better at preparing students for AP tests over time. Finally, as you'll see below, there are still students who earn a passing grade of 3 or above - and with hard work, you can be one of them.
We have specific data on how many students got a 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 (out of 5) on AP exams in the chart below:
AP Test-Taking Statistics
Another way to gauge the quality of a school's AP program is to see how many AP students actually took AP exams at Manual Arts Senior High School. If a lot of students enroll in AP courses but don't actually take the AP tests, it can be a sign that students don't feel adequately prepared to take the test, or the school isn't encouraging students to take the exams enough.
At Manual Arts High, there is a total enrollment of 507 in AP courses (a student taking more than one AP course counts more than once).
Of AP-taking students, 267 took AP tests for ALL AP courses. 131 students took AP tests for SOME AP Courses, and 109 took AP courses but took NO tests.
This is good test participation. Most AP students at Manual Arts Senior High School take the AP test for every one of their AP courses, outnumbering the students who take some or no AP exams. This is a good sign that students feel confident enough to take tests for all AP courses available to them, which reflects well on the teachers and course material. Manual Arts High can continue to improve by reducing the number of students who take AP exams for some or none of their courses, but it's in a good state.
Note: The most recent data we have available is from 2012, so the statistics may have changed since then. Most likely, however, the trends are likely to continue - above average schools are likely to stay above average, and below average schools are likely to stay below average.
AP Passing Rates
For AP students at Manual Arts Senior High School who take the exam, it's important to know how they do. Here we have specific data on how many students got a passing grade (a 3 or above) on all, some, or none of the AP exams that they took.
Of all AP test takers, 35 students passed every AP test they took, which is a fantastic job. 80 students passed some but not all AP exams, and 304 students didn't pass ANY AP exam they took.
Unfortunately, this is poor performance compared to other high schools. At Manual Arts Senior High School, the majority of AP students fail ALL of the AP exams they take. This usually means that they're not adequately prepared for the national AP exam at the end of the year.
This isn't necessarily the school's fault. AP courses may be too advanced for the typical student at Manual Arts High, and it's still a good thing that AP courses are offered at all. Furthermore, it's possible that a majority of the AP exams taken by students at Manual Arts High are on the more difficult side.
However, if you're a student at Manual Arts High, this is a warning that you'll have to go above and beyond the typical student to pass your AP exams. This may entail self-studying, figuring out who the better AP teachers are and trying to get into their classes, and working hard.
To find out the passing rates for specific AP courses at Manual Arts Senior High School, you'll have to talk to your guidance counselor (who can then help you find that information). For instance, one AP Calculus teacher may have an above-90% passing rate, while another might only have a 50% passing rate. If you can, you'll want to take the class with the teacher who has more students get a 3 or above on the AP exam.

As of 2014, eleventh graders attending Manual Arts Senior High School must take standardized tests in English/Language Arts and Math as part of the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP). These align with the new Common Core standards and are called the 'Smarter Balanced' tests.
If Manual Arts High students meet or exceed state standards, they're academically prepared to graduate high school and go to college. Specifically, we care about the percentage of students who meet or exceed state standards. The larger this number, the higher the preparation of students at Manual Arts High.
English/Language Arts
At Manual Arts Senior High School, 16% of students meet or exceed state standards in English/Language Arts.
This is considered well below average and puts Manual Arts High in the bottom 25% of all high schools in California for English/Language Arts. The vast majority of Manual Arts High students don't meet state standards, and only a small percentage pass.
This low percentage itself isn't much cause for concern - as teachers and students get more familiar with the new Common Core, the pass rate at Manual Arts High will likely increase. But it still reflects Manual Arts High's low standing among California high schools.

The other major test taken for state assessments is Math. Across the state, Math performance is generally lower than English/Language Arts performance, so it's natural for this number to be lower.
At Manual Arts Senior High School, 5% of students meet or exceed state standards in Math. This math performance is considered excellent and puts Manual Arts High in the top 5% of all high schools in California.

Academic Offerings
In addition to the standard high school curriculum, many high schools like Manual Arts Senior High School offer advanced coursework as part of the Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) programs.
Brief Intro to AP/IB
AP and IB courses are designed at the difficulty level of college introductory classes. There are several important benefits to taking advanced coursework at Manual Arts High. First, taking more advanced classes shows colleges that you're committed to challenging yourself academically, and that you're one of the more advanced students at Manual Arts High. Taking AP/IB classes also raises your weighted GPA and makes you a stronger college applicant.
Furthermore, many colleges will accept your Manual Arts High AP/IB coursework as college coursework. In some cases, you'll be able to skip introductory-level classes and move to more advanced classes. In other cases, you'll be able to avoid having to take required courses and might even be able to graduate earlier than the standard 4 years. Often this will require you to pass the AP test, getting a score of 3 or above.
So what advanced courses does Manual Arts Senior High School offer?
AP Courses
Manual Arts Senior High School offers AP courses in 8 subjects.
This is a relatively low number of AP subjects, putting Manual Arts Senior High School in the bottom 50% of California schools offering AP courses. You'll likely be able to take the most popular courses like Calculus, English, and US History, but you won't have most other subjects available.
The total number of AP subjects is 38, so Manual Arts High is missing most. If you want to take any AP courses not being offered at Manual Arts High, ask your counselor for ideas on how to cover the gap. If you're a strong student, you might consider transferring schools to access a more advanced curriculum.
Of course, keep in mind that even though Manual Arts High doesn't offer many AP courses, it might teach the ones it does offer quite well. You can see student performance in the AP score analysis section above.
The following AP courses were offered at Manual Arts High during 2015-2016:
Course Title |
---|
Biology |
Calculus AB |
English Language and Composition |
English Literature and Composition |
Spanish Language and Culture |
Spanish Literature and Culture |
United States Government and Politics |
United States History |
Sports Teams
Finally, we'll cover which sports teams are available at Manual Arts Senior High School. Sports are an integral part of many students' high school experiences. The more sports that are available, and the more levels supported (Frosh, JV, Varsity), the more likely you'll be able to participate in a sport at Manual Arts High.
By the way, the Manual Arts Senior High mascot is the Toilers. Go Toilers!
Manual Arts Senior High School fields 17 teams for girls' sports. This is a high number that puts Manual Arts High in the top 25% of California schools that offer girls' sports. If you're a female, you'll have lots of options of sports and levels to try out for.
And now for the boys: Manual Arts Senior High School fields 19 teams for boys' sports. This puts Manual Arts High in the top 50% of California schools that offer boys' sports. You won't get every sport and level possible here, but you'll have a decent number of options. If you participate in a sport that Manual Arts High doesn't offer, consider looking for a local non-school team that you can join. Boys Teams | Girls Teams |

History
Manual Arts High School was established in 1910 in the middle ofbean fields, one-half mile from the nearest bus stop. It was thethird school in Los Angeles, California after LosAngeles High School and L.A. Polytechnic High School, and is theoldest high school still on its original site in the Los AngelesUnified School District.
After three semesters in an abandoned grammar school building,Manual Arts High School was opened on Vermont Avenue, a schoolwhose name embodied her ideal of head, heart, and hand, combiningto offer a creative atmosphere for the full life.
After the 1933 earthquake the entire campus was rebuilt,constituting the present Manual Arts High School campus. Picturedbelow is the main building, recently renamed YvonneBrathwaite-Burke Hall. Behind left is the current ScienceBuilding.
In 1995 'The Arts' became a Pacific Bell Education FirstDemonstration Site joining thirteen other demonstration sites inCalifornia, and in 1996 the school was named a CaliforniaDistinguished School. In 1998 Manual Arts was officially grantedDigital High School status.
The 2005-2006 school year opened with wall-to-wall smalllearning communities (SLCs), three on each track totaling nineSLCs. Manual Arts was relieved by the opening of Santee Education Complex in2005.[1]
In July 2008, the school became an MLA Partner School throughLAUSD's newly created iDesign Schools Division.[2] Withinthis new structure, Manual Arts will gain increased autonomy andlocalized decision making, along with greater accountability forstudent achievement. MLA Partner Schools (incollaboration with West Ed) will operate Manual Arts on a 5-yearperformance contract approved by the LAUSD School Board.
The school was relieved in 2007 when West Adams PreparatoryHigh School opened. During the same year, a section of theManual Arts attendance zone was transferred to Belmont High School[3].
The school will be relieved by Central Region High School 16when that school opens in 2011.[4].
The school will be relieved by South Los Angeles High School 3when that school opens in 2012.[5]
Reflectionof Change
Manual Arts has reflected the changes in the city of Los Angelesover the past eighty-nine years. Three major earthquakes, in 1933,which destroyed the original site, 1971, and 1994, and two civildisturbances, in 1965 and 1992, were probably the school's mostdifficult times. The school was recognized in the thirties for itsexcellence, supported the effort of its own Jimmy Doolittleduring World WarII, adopted an orphanage in Korea during the Korean War, participated in the many socialchanges in the sixties and was named the Ambassador High School forthe 1984 Summer Olympics. Manual Artsnow reflects current immigration trends and the fact that LosAngeles is the center of immigration in the United States.
Manual ArtsMusic
Manual Arts Music includes a Concert band, a Marching Band, Jazzband, Jazz combo, Drum Line and Percussion Ensemble. This inaddition to regular music classes such as keyboard, and beginningband.
The concert band, marching band, jazz band and jazz comboregularly participate in festivals and competitions.
In the 2008-2009 school year a choir program was re-establishedwith the addition of an Advanced Choir as well as male and femalesmaller groups.
Makeup ofSchool
In 1994 the school reconfigured to a four-year, grade nine totwelve, three track, year round, 'Concept 6' school that was in themidst of restructuring and the last stages of renovation. In 1995WASC accredited the school for six years.Most of the almost 4000students come from two middle schools, Foshay Learning Center andJohn Muir, although, with the addition of the Magnet school andother programs and open enrollment, students come from other partsof the city. Currently the school boasts eight successfulAcademies, each with its own curricular specialty.
The area around Manual Arts is one characterized by highunemployment, single parent families, a majority of familiesreceiving AFDC, immigrants, and multi-family rentalhousing.
The school was over 90% African-Americanin the 1980s and is now over 80% Hispanic, with much of that groupcoming from Central America. This transition hasbeen relatively peaceful. More than half of the students listSpanish as their first language, and the school serves the thirdlargest LEP population in the District.

DuPont Manual High School is a public magnet high school located in the Old Louisville neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky, United States. It serves students in grades 9–12. It is a part of the Jefferson County Public School District. DuPont Manual is recognized by the United States Department of Education as a Blue Ribbon School.
Manual opened in 1892 as an all-male manual training school. It was the second public high school in Louisville. Manual merged with its rival, Male High School, into a consolidated school from 1915 to 1919. Manual permanently merged with the Louisville Girls High School in 1950 and moved into their Gothic-style three-story building, built in 1934. In 2004, after conducting a poll, Louisville's Courier-Journal newspaper listed Manual as one of Louisville residents' ten favorite buildings.[2] As a coeducational school, Manual experienced a decline in discipline and test scores in the 1970s. In 1984, Manual became a magnet school, allowing students from throughout the district to apply to five specialized programs of study, or magnets.
Manual and Male High School have the oldest football rivalry in the state, dating back to 1893. Manual's football team has won five state titles and claims two national championships. In the 1980s and 1990s Manual became a prominent academic school and has been included several times in lists of America's top high schools in Redbook and Newsweek magazines.

History[edit]
DuPont Manual Training High School[edit]
In 1892, Louisville factory owner Alfred Victor du Pont donated $150,000 to the board of Louisville Public Schools to establish a training school to teach young men industrial arts ('manual') skills that would fit them for their duties in life. The Victorian building was built on the corner of Brook and Oak Streets by the firm of Clark and Loomis, which also designed the Speed Art Museum and Waverly Hills Sanatorium. After Manual moved out of the building it was used as a Middle School until 1974 when it was converted to apartments.[3] Manual's first principal, Henry Kleinschmid, was a favorite of du Pont but was unpopular with the school board, which conspired to replace him in 1895. Despite a summer of controversy and protest from the du Pont family, Manual's first two graduating classes and the four major local newspapers, the board replaced him with Harry Brownell on July 2.[4]
The original school building in 2009, after conversion to apartments
Manual was initially a three-year school with some general academic classes and an emphasis on mechanical and industrial training. Although graduates recall the school being viewed as blue-collar and academically inferior to Male High School in its early days, numerous early graduates went on to become medical doctors, and students published a literary magazine called The Crimson from 1899 to 1955.[4] In order to accommodate newly added French and Latin classes, Manual was expanded to a four-year school in 1901. In 1911, Manual became the first school in Kentucky to serve lunches to students.[5]
In 1913, Louisville Public Schools announced a plan to merge Manual and its rival Male High School into Louisville Boys High so that the two schools could share a new $300,000 facility. The plan took effect in 1915. Industrial training classes continued at the old Manual building. Parents objected to their children having to travel between the two buildings and the consolidation did not save the school board any money, so they voted to end the experiment in 1919. The new building became Male's home for the next 70 years and Manual returned to its old building at Brook and Oak.[4][6] In 1923 an expansion added new laboratories, a cafeteria, and the largest gym ever built in Louisville at the time. The addition eventually burned and had to be destroyed in 1991.[7]
Manual's enrollment numbers, which had hovered around 400 since the 1890s, soared from 429 in 1919 to 1,039 in 1925. The Manual Crimsons football team, which had also been consolidated with Male's from 1915 to 1918, had great success in the 1920s, beating Male two years in a row for the first time in its history. Manual shared athletic facilities with Male for many years, but in the early 1920s alumni raised funds to construct Manual Stadium. The stadium opened in 1924 with 14,021 permanent seats. It was one of the largest high school stadiums in America at the time. The original structure was condemned and closed in 1952 after years of heavy use and minimal upkeep, and was reopened after being rebuilt in 1954.[8] Its modern capacity is 11,463.[9]
Historic marker for Louisville Girls High School
Louisville Girls High School[edit]
The Louisville Girls High School opened as Female High School in 1856 at what became the intersection of Armory Place and Muhammad Ali Boulevard. It was the female counterpart to Male High School, also opened in 1856, and they were the first two public high schools in Louisville. Female High School moved to a location on First Street north of Chestnut in 1864 and remained there until 1899 when it moved to a location at Fifth and Hill Streets. It changed its name to Louisville Girls High School in 1911.[10]
In 1934, the school moved into Reuben Post Halleck Hall, which had just been completed. The building was initially home to the Girls High School on the second and third floors, and Louisville Junior High School on the first.[4][11] Over 12,000 women graduated from the school in its 94 years of operation.[10]
Merger[edit]
By the 1940s, budget concerns and national trends made it clear that Louisville Girls High School and duPont Manual would merge into one coeducational school. They finally did so in September 1950 and remained in the old Louisville Girls High School building. This fusion of institutions resulted in the birth of the modern duPont Manual High School – dropping 'Training' from its previous name. The same school building remains in use today, although two major additions have since been made.[12] The middle school located on the building's first floor became Manly Junior High and moved to Manual's old building at Brook and Oak.[11]
The merged school began developing traditions such as Homecoming in 1951, and Red and White Day in 1953. Red and White Day eventually became a full week of school spirit related activities preceding the annual Male-Manual football game. Two traditions of the sexually segregated past, sororities and the all-male Mitre Club, persisted into the 1950s as unofficial organizations but gradually faded away. Students began publishing a newspaper, The Crimson Record, in 1955.[13]
Following the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision, Manual became racially integrated without controversy in 1956 and graduated its first two black students in 1958.[14] Starting in the 1960s, Manual began to face problems associated with inner city schools in the United States as economically advantaged families moved towards Louisville's suburbs. Manual was exempt from court-ordered busing in the 1970s because its racial makeup already met federal guidelines.[15]
On November 11, 1976, what school board members referred to as a race-related riot occurred on campus, injuring 16 and leading to six arrests and 60 suspensions.[15] Students and school administrators agreed that there was an atmosphere of racial tension brewing at Manual in the 1970s that led to the riot.[16] In his 2005 book on the history of Manual, Mike McDaniel wrote that November 11, 1976 was 'quite probably the worst day in the history of Manual.'[17]
The late 1960s and 1970s were a time of major change at Manual. A new wing featuring a gym with a seating capacity of 2,566 opened in 1971.[9][18] The school had as many as 3,360 students in the 1971–72 school year, necessitating 17 portable classrooms in the front and rear courtyards. Manual still had grades seven through twelve at this time, and overcrowding gradually began to improve after Manual dropped the seventh and eight grades when Noe Middle School opened in 1974. Throughout the decade the administration gradually dropped the last vestiges of its manual training emphasis as the number of shop classes dwindled from 16 in 1971 to three in 1979.[14] The Youth Performing Arts School, actually a magnet school within Manual, opened in 1978 and, along with the changing curriculum, presaged Manual's transition to an academically intensive magnet school in the 1980s.[19]
Manual Arts High School Mascot
Magnet school[edit]
Manual became a magnet school in 1984, creating specialty programs and allowing students from around the district to apply to attend.[20] The change initially met with a mixed reaction, especially as most freshmen and sophomores were to be transferred to other schools. One critic in the black community called the plan 'one-way busing'.[21] A few days after the proposal was announced, about 300 students walked out of class at Manual and marched to Central High School, where most of them were being transferred, in protest. The protest succeeded in persuading the school board to modify the proposal to exclude sophomores from being transferred.[22]
The magnet programs succeeded in attracting applicants and by the mid-1990s only about a third of students who applied were accepted.[23] In the midst of the transition to magnet school, Manual underwent a $1.9 million building improvement plan which added computer and science labs.[24][25] Also in 1991, the United States Department of Education recognized Manual as a Blue Ribbon School, the highest honor the department can bestow on a school.[26][27]
Many interior shots of the 1999 film The Insider were filmed at Manual.[28] Dr. Jeffrey Wigand, the subject of the film, taught science and Japanese at Manual after he was fired by tobacco company Brown & Williamson in 1993.[29]
Building and campus[edit]
Manual classrooms and offices are located in three buildings spread over two city blocks. The main building was originally called Reuben Post Halleck Hall and was home to the Louisville Girls High School before it merged with Manual. The Gothic-style building was completed in 1934 at a cost of $1.1 million. The 9-acre (36,000 m2) tract it was built on had previously been the site of the old Masonic Widows and Orphans Home.[4]
In 1967 an urban renewal program demolished a residential block east of the main building to create a running track and various athletic fields. The project doubled Manual's campus to its modern size of 17 acres (69,000 m2). This was a part of a larger city-funded effort which created Noe Middle School north of Manual and increased the size of the University of Louisville campus, which was originally touted as a plan to create a continuous chain of schools over many blocks.[30] Manual even became a home for two of the university's women's athletic teams. In the 1980s, the U of L women's basketball team used Manual's gym as a part-time home, playing a total of 40 games in eight seasons there.[31] The U of L volleyball team used the Manual gym as its primary home from 1977 through 1990, after which the team moved into the newly built Cardinal Arena on its own campus.[32] In 1992, Manual began a $3.5 million renovation of the main building which included a new roof and a glass-enclosed cafeteria for juniors and seniors.[33]
The Youth Performing Arts School has its own building a half-block from Manual's main building. It was completed in 1978 at a cost of $1.5 million as the final stage of the same plan that expanded Manual's campus and built Noe. Noe had been built without an auditorium in anticipation of a theater-oriented school being built on site.[34] The YPAS building includes production facilities, a costume shop and an 886-seat proscenium-style theater.[35] The YPAS building did not contain extensive classroom space, however, and for many years teachers conducted YPAS classes in hallways and on loading docks if other space wasn't available. Since 1993, YPAS has used an adjacent facility, built in 1899 and formerly home to Cochran Elementary, as an annex.[36]
Academics[edit]
Manual focused on industrial training early in its history, but by the late 1970s it had a standard curriculum. In 1980, Iowa Test of Basic Skills scores ranked Manual 23rd out of the 24 high schools in the county. Under principal Joe Liedtke, academics improved, especially after Manual became a magnet school in 1984 and could attract students from throughout the county.[37]
All students enroll in one of five magnet programs. The High School University (HSU) magnet offers a traditional college preparatory curriculum with electives. The Math/Science/Technology (MST) magnet specifically prepares students for college programs in engineering, science and math. Minimal requirements for MST students include courses in algebra, trigonometry, calculus (including mandatory AP Calculus), biology, chemistry and computer programming.[38] The Journalism & Communication (J&C) magnet focuses on journalism, publishing, and media production. To earn class credit, J&C students can participate in production of the school's national award-winning yearbook (The Crimson), student newsmagazine (On the Record), award-winning literary magazine (OneBlueWall), multimedia website (RedEye) or a daily morning television show called CSPN-TV, which is broadcast to all classrooms.[39][40][41] The J&C program was formerly known as CMA (Communications and Media Arts), but the name was changed so that the Manual program would stand out from others in the district with similar names.
Admission to the HSU, MST and J&C magnets are decided by a committee of Manual teachers based on academic performance as measured by prior school grades and the Commonwealth Accountability Testing System, although extracurricular involvement is also considered.[42] J&C applicants also participate in an on-demand writing assessment. The acceptance rate to each magnet varies with the number of applicants in any given year; in the mid-1990s about a third of applicants to these three magnets were selected each year.[23] Admission the other two magnets, Visual Arts and the Youth Performing Arts School, are decided based primarily on auditions.[42]
The Visual Arts magnet is located in a wing of art classrooms and features an art show each year for graduating seniors.[43][44] The Visual Arts magnet provides students with the opportunity to work with a variety of media, including clay/sculpture, fibers, printmaking, painting, drawing and graphic design. The Math/Science/Technology program and the Youth Performing Arts School have achieved national recognition on multiple occasions.[45]
In 1994, Manual began offering Advanced Placement (AP) courses. In 2001 it offered 45 AP courses, more than any other school in the state.[46] Qualifying students may take college courses free of charge at the University of Louisville, which is located directly south of Manual. In 2000, Manual implemented block scheduling, which allowed students to take eight classes per year, which are scheduled four per day on alternating days.[47]
Since 2000, Manual has held Kentucky's state record of 52 National Merit Semifinalists, ranking third in the United States for that year. Manual's academic team won state titles at Governor's Cup, Kentucky's top high school academic competition, in 1993, 1994, 2005, and 2013. Matt Morris, a Manual graduate who was on the 1993 and 1994 teams, was the 1994 Teen Champion on Jeopardy!. Three other Manual students have competed on Jeopardy!.[48] Manual's academic teams have also won both National Science Bowl and National Academic League championships, and achieved 7th place at the NAQT's High School National Championships.[45] Manual has a history of one of the top policy debate programs in the state. In the 1990s Manual students won the Jefferson County championships most years and qualified teams for the National Forensic League tournament and the TOC Tournament of Champions. Manual has been mentioned several times in lists of America's top high schools in Redbook and Newsweek magazines.[49] In 2002, Manual was separated from the rest of the schools in its district and made to hold its own regional science fair.[50]
In 2015, duPont Manual had the distinction of being the high school that sent the most students to the INTEL International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF).[51][52][53]
In 2018, duPont Manual had 13 Intel ISEF finalist and one USAJMO qualifier.
Youth Performing Arts School[edit]
Main YPAS building
The Youth Performing Arts School (YPAS) is one of only two programs in Kentucky allowing high school students to major in performing arts. Between 1995 and 2005, 90% of YPAS students received college scholarships totaling an average of over one million dollars per year. YPAS has its own building a half-block from Manual's main building, which includes classrooms, production facilities, a costume shop and an 886-seat proscenium-style theater.[35] Since 1993, YPAS has used an adjacent facility, built in 1899 and formerly home to Cochran Elementary, as an annex.[36]
YPAS is one of Manual's magnet programs and YPAS students take their academic classes at Manual and must complete the same academic requirements as any public school student in Kentucky. Unlike the other magnets, YPAS is semi-autonomous; it has its own assistant principals, counselor, administrative staff, and parents' organization. Many Manual students take classes at YPAS, even if it is not their academic major.[54][55]
Students at YPAS major in vocal music, instrumental music (band, orchestra or piano), dance, theaterdesign and production, or musical theatre. YPAS instructors are school teachers recruited from around the district for their backgrounds in the arts.[56] The YPAS choir was the only chorus to perform at the January 2001 inauguration of President George W. Bush.[57][58]
Athletics[edit]
Football[edit]
Other sports[edit]
John Reccius, an early Major League Baseball player, organized Manual's first baseball team in 1900. An early baseball star was Ferdie Schupp, who would go on to pitch in the 1917 World Series, but left Manual two months before graduating. Manual claims seven 'mythical' state baseball championships and has won six official ones, most recently in 1962. A total of ten Manual players have played in Major League Baseball, most notably Pee Wee Reese.[59]
The varsity cheerleaders have won several NCA National Championship titles. In 1997, 1998, 2004, and 2005, they won the Large Varsity Division, and in 2003 and 2006 they won the Medium Varsity Division title.[60] Varsity boys' soccer was second at states in 2005 and third in 2004.[61][62]
In 2006, the Manual girls' cross country team won the school's first team title after placing second in 2004 and 2005. The 2006 win was the first championship for a Jefferson County, Kentucky Class AAA Public School since 1980. In 2007, the Manual boys' cross country team also won a Class AAA state championship.[63]
The swim team maintained state titles from 2003 to 2008. From 2004 through 2008, Manual won the Combined Girls' and Boys' State Championship, and the girls maintained their own state championship from 2005 through 2008.[64]
The boys' tennis team achieved their best finish at the KHSAA State Tennis Tournament in 2008 by winning the team title.[65] Previously, their best result had come in 2006 when they tied rival St. Xavier High School for second place. The boys' team also won the state doubles title in 2006, which was the first state title in Ram tennis history on the boys' side. The team had five consecutive runner up positions from the 2001—2002 year until the 2005—2006 year. In 2008, the Manual boys' tennis team went on to win the first ever regional tournament in Manual history. The state team won the state title in 2008, making Manual the second public school to ever win the title.[66]
The boys' bowling team won the state title in 2010.[67] The school also offers basketball, dance (called the Dazzlers), field hockey, golf, lacrosse, and volleyball, among other sports teams.[68]
The varsity field hockey team won the state title in 2011 for the first time in the history of the program.
DuPont Manual girls' lacrosse has won many state titles and tournament trophies since 2001, when the sport was developed.
