Julia Richman High School is a defunct comprehensive high school in Manhattan, New York. Built in 1923 and located at East 67th Street and Second Avenue, the building was the only public high school in the Upper East Side of New York. The school is named after Julia Richman, the first woman district superintendent of schools in New York City.〔Seymour "Sy" Brody, "Julia Richman (1855–1912)," Jewish Virtual Library, undated, https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/biography/richman.html〕 For much of the school's history it was a girl's high school; it changed to co-educational in 1967. In 1995, after years of academic decline, the city reorganized the school into six separately functioning small schools within a building renamed as the Julia Richman Education Complex.〔”Julia Richman Education Complex, “Architects of Achievement,” undated http://www.archachieve.net/realworldexamples/JREC/index.html〕 Hunter College (City University of New York) is anticipated to acquire the school site. Schools chancellor Joel Klein has joined this effort.〔Natalie Bell, “Julia Richman: The award-winning school that Klein would destroy“ UFT's “New York Teacher” April 24, 2008 http://www.uft.org/news/teacher/top/julia_richman/〕 Community members and local elected officials, including city council member Jessica Lappin and State Senator Liz Krueger, have formally voiced their opposition to the plan,〔(Save JREC website )〕 saying that "a ''preference'' by one CUNY school for expansion convenient to its existing campus is simply not a sufficient rationale" to "uproot six outstanding public schools."〔See Sen. Krueger and Assemblyman Kellner's letter to Chancellor Klein and Chancellor Goldstein at the (Save JREC website )〕 Hunter College seeks to build a science tower on the site of the school. In 2007, Hunter College offered the Julia Richman Education Complex one of its properties at East 25th Street. Under the plan, the JREC schools would temporarily relocate to a site near the East River Drive while Hunter builds a new site for JREC.〔Natalie Bell, "JREC battle moves to Tweed," "New York Teacher," April 23, 2009, p. 7.〕 The New York City schools now operating at the Julia Richman campus are: * Manhattan International High School * Talent Unlimited High School * Vanguard High School *Urban Academy Laboratory ==Notable alumni== *Marjorie Topper, American interior designer and travel maven *Fay Ajzenberg-Selove, German-American physicist *Lauren Bacall, film and stage actress and model *Cathy Berberian, soprano and composer *Big L, rapper *Carmen Contreras-Bozak, first Hispanic to serve in the U.S. Women's Army Corps *Geraldine Brooks, actress *Jade Trini Goring, contemporary gospel music singer *Patricia Highsmith, novelist and short story writer *Judy Holliday, actress *Sondra Lipton, model and painter *Lisa Lisa (born Lisa Velez), musician *Gene Anthony Ray, actor, dancer, and choreographer 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Julia Richman High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
