Founded in 1848, Philadelphia High School for Girls, also known as Girls' High, holds the distinction of being the first municipally supported secondary school for girls in the United States. Initially established to train teachers for Philadelphia's common schools, the institution underwent a division in 1893. The Normal School relocated to a new site, while the high school remained at Seventeenth and Spring Garden Streets, adopting the name "Philadelphia High School for Girls" during this transition. Presently, it continues to use this name and serves as a public college preparatory magnet high school exclusively for girls, situated in Philadelphia. (Wikipedia)
