Official Name: duPont Manual High School
Year Opened: 1892
1st Graduating Class: 1894
duPont Manual opened in a building on Brook and Oak streets, mainly constructed in 1892. It opened as a male-only manual training school due to a gift to the city from industrialist Alfred Victor duPont. In 1915 Manual was merged with archrival Louisville Male High School to form Louisville Boys High School in a new high school building at 911 S. Brook Street. In 1919 Manual resumed its independence when the merger did not prove successful and it reopened in its Brook and Oak facility. Apparently its name became officially duPont Manual with the reopening. Manual became co-educational in 1950 with the absorption of Louisville Girls High School. Manual was relocated to Halleck Hall, the former home of LGHS. Manly Junior High opened in the building formerly housing Manual.
