Page "Cambridge Rindge and Latin School" Paragraph 12

The Cambridge High School was divided in 1886: its classical department became the Cambridge Latin School and its remaining departments the Cambridge English High School.

The English High School was located at the corner of Broadway and Fayette Streets, while the Latin School was transferred to the Lee Street church, which had been renovated to receive it.

At the time of the separation, the high school contained 515 pupils, and 16 teachers.

Six teachers and 165 pupils went to the Latin school.

In September 1888, the Cambridge Manual Training School for Boys ( to become Rindge Tech ), founded and maintained by Frederick Hastings Rindge, was opened to the boys of the English High School.

In 1892, the English High School moved into a commodious new building on Broadway ; Rindge had presented the land to Cambridge at a cost of $ 230, 000.

The EHS ’ s old building at Broadway and Fayette was remodeled, and the Latin School moved in.

By 1896, the Latin School had grown so quickly that plans were underway for another new building ( cost approx.

$ 250, 000 ) that would stand on land adjacent to the English High School building and the Public Library.
