Manhattan Trade School for Girls
Former public school in New York CityThe Manhattan Trade School for Girls was a New York City public high school founded in 1902 by Mary Schenck Woolman, and was the first vocational school for female students established in the United States. It was established by philanthropic reformers to provide training for young women to work in trades such as garment factory work. It was originally located on West 14th Street, but was moved to East 23rd Street in 1906–1907. To accommodate growing enrollment, a new building was constructed and designed by C. B. J. Snyder in 1915 at 127 East 22nd Street. The building now houses The School of the Future, a New York City public middle school and high school.
