Histori
duPont Pelatihan Manual SMA
In 1892, Louisville factory owner, Alfred Victor du Pont, donated $ 150,000 to the Louisville Public School boards to set up a training school to teach young industrial art skills ("manuals") that would suit them for their duties in life. The Victorian building is built at the corner of Brook and Oak Streets by the firms Clark and Loomis, who also designs Speed ​​Art Museum and Waverly Hills Sanatorium. After Manual moved from the building was used as Secondary School until 1974 when converted into an apartment. The first principal user, Henry Kleinschmid, was the favorite du Pont but was unpopular with the school board, who conspired to succeed him in 1895. Despite the summer of controversy and protests from the du Pont family, two first-class Manual graduates and four major local newspapers, the council replacing him with Harry Brownell on July 2nd.
The initial manual is a three-year school with several general academic classes and an emphasis on mechanical and industrial training. Although graduates remember the school was seen as blue-collar and academically inferior to high school in the early days, many of the early graduates later became medical doctors, and students published a literary magazine called The Crimson from 1899 to 1955. To accommodate the newly added French and Latin French classes, the Manual was extended to a four-year school in 1901. In 1911, the Manual became the first school in Kentucky to serve lunch to students.
In 1913, Louisville Public Schools announced plans to incorporate Manual and rival Male High School to Louisville Boys High so the two schools could share a new $ 300,000 facility. The plan came into force in 1915. Industrial training classes continued in the old Manual building. Parents objected to their children having to travel between two buildings and consolidate no school board savings, so they chose to end the experiment in 1919. The new building became the home of Male for the next 70 years and Manual returned to the old building in Brook and Oak. In 1923, an expansion added the largest laboratory, cafeteria, and largest gym ever built in Louisville at the time. The final addition was burned and must be destroyed in 1991.
The number of manual registrations, which have been hovering around 400 since 1890, jumped from 429 in 1919 to 1,039 in 1925. The Crimsons Manual soccer team, which has also been consolidated with Male from 1915 to 1918, had great success in the 1920s, defeating Men two years in a row for the first time in its history. Athletic facilities shared with Male over the years, but in the early 1920s, alumni raise funds to build the 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 minimal weight and maintenance, and reopened after it was rebuilt in 1954. Its modern capacity is 11,463.
Louisville Louisville Girls' College
The Louisville Girls' School was opened as a Women's Secondary School in 1856 at the site of the intersection of Armory Place and Muhammad Ali Boulevard. It was a female partner to High School, also opened in 1856, and they were two junior high schools in Louisville. SMA Women moved to a location on First Street north of Chestnut in 1864 and remained there until 1899 when moving to a location in Fifth and Hill Streets. It was renamed Louisville Women's College in 1911.
In 1934, the school moved to Reuben Post Halleck Hall, which had just finished. The building was originally home to Girls High School on the second and third floors, and Louisville Junior High School on the first. More than 12,000 women graduate from school in 94 years of operation.
Merge
In the 1940s, budget concerns and national trends made it clear that Louisville Girls High School and duPont Manual will merge into one coeducational school. They finally did it in September 1950 and stayed in the Louisville Girls Junior High School building. The combination of these institutions resulted in the birth of the modern duPont Manual SMA - dropping 'Training' from the previous name. The same school building is still in use today, although two major additions have been made. The middle school located on the first floor of the building became the Manly Junior High and moved into the Manual old building in Brook and Oak.
The merged schools began to develop traditions such as Homecoming in 1951, and Red and White Day in 1953. Red and White Day ended up being a week full of spirit-related activities at school that preceded the annual Man-Manual soccer game. Two sexually disinterested traditions of the past, male associations and Club Clubs all survived until the 1950s as an unofficial organization but gradually faded. Students began publishing the newspaper, The Crimson Record , in 1955.
Following the Brown v. Board of Education The Supreme Court, the Manual became racially integrated without controversy and produced the first two black students in 1958. Beginning in the 1960s, the Manual began to deal with problems associated with downtown schools. in the United States as an economically benefited family moved to the outskirts of Louisville. Manual exempt from court-ordered bus in the 1970s because her racial dressing was in conformity with federal guidelines.
On November 11, 1976, the so-called school board members as racial-related riots occurred on campus, wounding 16 and causing six arrests and 60 suspensions. Students and school administrators agree that there was an atmosphere of racial tension occurring in the Manual in the 1970s that caused unrest. In his 2005 book on Manual history, Mike McDaniel writes that November 11, 1976 is "probably the worst day in Manual history."
The late 1960s and 1970s were a time of great change in the Manual. The new wing featuring a sports hall with a seating capacity of 2,566 opened in 1971. The school had as many as 3,360 students in the 1971-72 school year, requiring 17 portable classrooms on the front and back pages. The manual still has a score of seven to twelve at the moment, and density gradually began to improve after the Manual dropped the seventh and eighth grades when Noe Middle School opened in 1974. Throughout the decade the administration gradually dropped the last remnants of its manual training emphasis as the number of classes stores shrunk from 16 in 1971 to three in 1979. The School of Performing Arts of Youth, in fact a magnet school in the Manual, was opened in 1978 and, together with a changing curriculum, the Manual transition planned to become an academically intensive magnet school in the year 1980s..
Magnet School
The Manual became a magnet school in 1984, creating a special program and allowing students from across the district to register. The initial changes met with mixed reactions, especially since most of the new students and the second year were transferred to another school. A critic in the black community called the plan "one-way busing". A few days after the proposal was announced, about 300 students dropped out of the classroom in the Manual and marched to High School, where most of them were moved, in protest. The protest succeeded in persuading the school board to modify the proposal to exclude the second student from being transferred.
The magnet program succeeded in attracting applicants and by the mid-1990s only about a third of the students who signed up were accepted. In the midst of a transition to magnet school, the Manual underwent a $ 1.9 million building improvement plan that added computer and science laboratories. Also in 1991, the United States Department of Education recognized the Manual as the Blue Ribbon School, the highest award that the department could deliver at school.
Many 1999 movie interior photos The Insider were filmed in the Manual. Dr. Jeffrey Wigand, the subject of the film, teaches science and Japanese in the Manual after he was fired by Brown & amp; Williamson in 1993.

Building and campus
The classroom and the manual office are located in three buildings spread across two city blocks. The main building was originally called the Reuben Post Halleck Hall and was home to the Louisville Women's College before joining the Manual. The Gothic-style building was completed in 1934 at a cost of $ 1.1 million. The 9-acre (36,000 m 2 ) channel built earlier has been the site of the old Masonic Widow and Orphan House.
In 1967 the urban renewal program destroyed the housing block east of the main building to create a running track and various athletic fields. This project doubled the Manual campus to a modern 17 acre (69,000 m 2 ) size. This is part of a large city-funded effort that creates Noe Central School north of the Manual and increases the size of the Louisville University campus, which was originally touted as a plan to create a continuous chain of schools across many blocks. The manual is even home to two university women's athletic teams. In the 1980s, the U of L women's basketball team used the Manual game as a part-time home, playing a total of 40 games in eight seasons there. The U of L volleyball team used the Manual gym as its main house from 1977 to 1990, after which the team moved to the newly built Cardinal Arena on its own campus. In 1992, the Manual initiated a $ 3.5 million renovation of the main building which included a new roof and glass-covered cafeteria for juniors and seniors.
The School of Youth Performing Arts has its own building half a block from the main Manual building. It was completed in 1978 at a cost of $ 1.5 million as the final stage of the same plan that expanded the Manual campus and built Noe. Noe was built without an auditorium to anticipate the theater-oriented school being built on site. The YPAS building includes a production facility, a proscenium-style costume and theater that has 886 seats. The YPAS building contains no large classrooms, however, and over the years teachers hold YPAS classes in the halls and on loading docks if other spaces are not available. Since 1993, YPAS has used adjacent facilities, built in 1899 and previously home to the Cochran Elementary, as an annex.
Academics
The manual focused on industrial training early in its history, but in the late 1970s it had a standard curriculum. In 1980, the Iowa Test of Basic Skills was rated Manual 23 out of 24 high schools in the area. Under the head of Joe Liedtke, academics improved, especially after the Manual became a magnet school in 1984 and was able to attract students from across the region.
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) special magnet prepares students for courses in engineering, science and math. Minimum requirements for MST students include courses in algebra, trigonometry, calculus (including mandatory Calculus AP), biology, chemistry and computer programming. Journalism & amp; Communications (J & amp; C) magnets focus on journalism, publishing, and media production. To get a class credit, J & amp; C can participate in the production of the school's award-winning annual school book, The Student News magazine, Records magazine won the literary magazine ( One Blue Wall ), a multimedia website ( RedEye ) or a daily morning television show called CSPN-TV , which is broadcast to all classrooms. J & amp; C was formerly known as CMA (Communication and Media Art), but its name was changed so that the Manual program would stand out from others in districts with similar names.
Log in to HSU, MST and J & amp; C magnet is determined by the teacher's Committee Manual based on academic achievement as measured by the previous school grades and Commonwealth Testing Accountability System, although extracurricular involvement is also considered. The applicant of J & P also participates in the writing assessment on request. The acceptance rate for each magnet varies with the number of applicants in a given year; in the mid-1990s about a third of applicants to these three magnets were selected each year. The entry of two other magnets, Visual Art and School of Youth Performing Arts, was decided on the basis of the audition.
Visual Arts Magnet is located in the art classroom wing and features art performances annually for senior graduates. Visual Art Magnet gives students the opportunity to work with a variety of media, including clay/sculpture, fiber, graphic arts, painting, drawing and graphic design. The Mathematics/Science/Technology and Youth Performing Arts School Program has achieved national recognition on numerous occasions.
In 1994, the Manual began offering the Advanced Placement (AP) program. In 2001, the program offered 45 APs, more than any other school in the state. Eligible students can take free courses at the University of Louisville, located just south of the Manual. In 2000, the Manual implemented block scheduling, which allowed students to take eight classes per year, scheduled four days on alternating days.
Since 2000, the Manual has held the Kentucky state record of 52 National Semifinalists Merit, ranked third in the United States for that year. The manual academic team won state titles at the Governor's Cup, Kentucky 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 Teens Champion at Jeopardy!. Three other Manual students competed in Jeopardy. The manual academic team has also won the National Science Bowl and National Academic League championships, and reached the 7th place at the NAQT High School National Championships. The Manual has a history of one of the top policy debate programs in the state. In the 1990s, Manual students won the County Jefferson Championships almost every year and teams were eligible for the National Forensic League tournament and TOC Tournament of Champions. The manual has been mentioned several times in the list of American high schools in the Redbook and Newsweek magazines. In 2002, the Manual was separated from other schools in its district and made to hold its own regional science week.
By 2015, the duPont Manual has the distinction of being a secondary school that sends most students to INTEL's International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF).
By 2018, duPont Manual has 13 Intel ISEF finalists and one USAJMO qualification.
School of Young Performing Arts
The School of Young Performing Arts (YPAS) is one of only two programs in Kentucky that allows high school students to become the top performers in the arts. Between 1995 and 2005, 90% of YPAS students receive college scholarships with an average amount of more than one million dollars per year. YPAS has its own half-block building from the Manual main building, which includes classrooms, production facilities, fashion stores and proscenium-style theater that has 886 seats. Since 1993, YPAS has used adjacent facilities, built in 1899 and previously home to the Cochran Elementary, as an annex.
YPAS is one of the manual magnet programs and YPAS students take their academic classes in the Manual and must complete the same academic requirements with public school students in Kentucky. Unlike other magnets, YPAS is semi-autonomous; he has assistant principals, counselors, administrative staff, and parent organizations themselves. Many Manual students take classes at YPAS, even if it's not their academic department.
Students at YPAS major in vocal music, instrumental music (band, orchestra or piano), dance, theater design or production, or musical theater. YPAS instructors are school teachers who are recruited from all districts for their background in art. The YPAS choir was the only choir to perform at the inauguration of President George W. Bush in January 2001.
