Originally established on the south side of Indianapolis to provide training in mechanics, drafting and the manual arts, Emmerich Manual High School opened in the fall of 1895 with the motto “Education of Mind, Hand and Heart.” In the late nineteenth century, combining academic and manual training was an entirely new educational concept and Manual was the first school of its kind in America.

It is the oldest free public high school in Indiana, opening as Indianapolis High School on the Circle downtown in 1864. The first superintendent, Abram C.
