It was the first secondary-level industrial/vocational school in the United States: it "has been called the nation's first public-supported, coeducational industrial high school."[2] Located at 1112 29th St., the building was designed by J.W. Golucke & Co. in Beaux Arts style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
It has also been known as S.I.S., as Columbus Junior High, and as Jordan Vocational High.
It was a project of Carleton B. Gibson, who became Superintendent of schools in Columbus in 1896.[2]
