History
During the early 20th century, two schools were founded in Minneapolis to prepare students for elite colleges in the northeast: The Blake School for boys and Northrop Collegiate School for girls. A third school, Highcroft Country Day School serving coeducational students, was incorporated during the migration to Minneapolis suburbs. In 1974, the three schools merged to become The Blake Schools, with its first coeducational graduating in 1975.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“To a surprising extent the war-lords in shining armour, the apostles of the martial virtues, tend not to die fighting when the time comes. History is full of ignominious getaways by the great and famous.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
“Racism is an ism to which everyone in the world today is exposed; for or against, we must take sides. And the history of the future will differ according to the decision which we make.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
“the future is simply nothing at all. Nothing has happened to the present by becoming past except that fresh slices of existence have been added to the total history of the world. The past is thus as real as the present.”
—Charlie Dunbar Broad (1887–1971)
