History

New Rochelle was the scene of the first court-ordered school desegregation case in "the North" when the United States Supreme Court decided in 1962 that its Lincoln School boundaries had been intentionally drawn to create segregated elementary school districts. Lincoln School was closed and demolished in 1965, with students of that district allowed to attend other elementary schools in the city. [5] The school district is known for its diversity, and the high school honors civil rights leader Whitney Young in the name of its auditorium and civil rights martyr Michael Schwerner in the name of its library.

In May 1968, New Rochelle High School was partially destroyed by a fire set by a disturbed student. The fire occurred early in the morning and there were no fatalities. The facade of the school remained intact, allowing builders to construct a new building behind the original exterior. [6]

In 1981 four of the district's elementary schools were closed due to declining enrollment: Mayflower, Roosevelt, Barnard, and Stephenson. Their students were transferred to Ward, Davis, and Trinity elementary schools. [7]
