[42]

History

In 1952, the Northeast Queens Council for Schools advocated for a northeast Queens high school because of severe overcrowding at Bayside High School, Flushing High School, Andrew Jackson High School, and Jamaica High School. [62]

In December 1955, the New York City Board of Education approved the building of a new high school, called Northeast Queens High School, near the intersection of Utopia Parkway and 59th Avenue, with a capacity of 3,000 students. [63] The city bought 11 acres of land, and the City Planning Commission agreed that the high school was needed, but the Commission did not approve the allocation of money to build the school in the capital budget. [62] [64] [65]

In August 1956, the city approved the hiring of the firm of Eggers & Higgins to be the architect of the building, although the budget to actually build the high school was not yet approved. [66] [65]

In October 1956, Mayor Robert F. Wagner Jr. wrote a letter to the City Planning Commission asking it to include the construction of Northeast Queens High School in its capital budget. [64] The construction was included in the capital budget in 1957. [67]

In March 1958, the Board of Education approved a contract to build the high school. [68] A $4,229,000 contract was awarded to the lowest bidder, Caristo Construction Company. [68] The ground-breaking happened that same year. A group of parents tried to have an indoor swimming pool built in the high school, but they were not successful. [69] The high school ended up costing $6,100,000 to build. [66]

Francis Lewis High School opened on September 13, 1960. [70] The school was named after Francis Lewis, a resident of Whitestone who signed the United States Declaration of Independence. [62] Vincent McGarrett was the first principal. [71] Herman Wolf was the first basketball coach. [72] Queensborough Community College held some of its classes at Francis Lewis High School that year because its own campus was still under construction. [71]

Francis Lewis High School was built for a capacity of 2,700 students. [70] The school was overcrowded as of the 1962–1963 school year. [73] Cardozo High School was built in 1967 in order to relieve overcrowding at Francis Lewis. [74] [75]

In 1965, Queensborough Community College held some of its evening classes at Francis Lewis High School due to overcrowding at Queensborough. [76]

In 1978, Francis Lewis High School graduated International Baccalaureate diploma students, the first public high school in the United States to do so. [77] It terminated in the 1990s.

In early 2018, Francis Lewis High School announced plans for a new annex to add more space and alleviate overcrowding. It would be located where a tennis court and the Margaret Lambert Track and Field House were. [78] Construction began in 2019. Completion is expected by 2023. [79]
