Once upon a time, there were two separate schools, the High School of Music & Art and the School for Performing Arts. Both schools dealt with the arts, but each had its distinctive flavors. One sat on top of a hill in Harlem, and the other was close enough to the Times Square theater district that you could easily walk there. The arts lived and breathed throughout the hallways of both. In 1961, the Board of Education decided that these two elite schools must merge into one. The length of time it took to occur and the controversies surrounding this is another story, but every plan has its beginnings. Check out what the Daily News Newspaper mentioned about this on February 24, 1961.

I am a Music and Art 1955 graduate of music. I have always put my dear school at the top of my list. Wonderful, friends, education, teachers. After so many years, I still sing in choruses and have good memories. 8/8/2021 01:24:41 am
