- History_of_Baltimore_City_College abstract "The history of The Baltimore City College began in March 1839, when the City Council of Baltimore, Maryland, United States, passed a resolution mandating the creation of a male high school with a focus on the study of English and classical literature. The Baltimore City College was opened later in the same year on October 20th, with 46 pupils under the direction of Professor Nathan C. Brooks,(1809-1898), a local noted classical educator and poet, who became the first principal. It is now considered to be the third oldest public high school in the nation. In 1850, the Baltimore City Council granted the school the authority to present its graduates with certificates of completion. An effort to expand that academic power and allow the then named \"Central High School of Baltimore\" to confer Bachelor of Arts degrees began in 1865, and continued the following year with the renaming of the institution as \"The Baltimore City College\", which it still holds to this day, with also the retitling of its chief academic officer from \"principal\" to \"president\", along with an increase in the number of years of its course of study and the expansion of its courses. However, despite this early elevation effort, it ended at that time unsuccessfully in 1869, although the B.C.C. continued for a number of years as a hybrid public high school and early form of junior college (later known as community college) which did not fully appear in America until the beginning of the 20th Century. Very often the graduation diploma in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries was accepted by many other colleges and universities entitling City graduates to enter upper-division schools at the sophomore year, (which was also coincidentally a privilege also accorded to its later local academic and athletic rival, the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, founded 1883).As the importance of higher education increased in the early 20th Century, the High School's priorities shifted to preparing students for college. In 1927, the academic program was further changed, when the City College divided its curriculum into two tracks: the standard college preparatory program, or \"'B' Course\", and a more rigorous \"Advanced College Prep\" curriculum, the famed \"'A' Course\" of study (also available in the mathematics/science/technology fields at Poly).The school underwent demographic changes following the U.S. Supreme Court's unanimous ruling in the May 1954 decision \"Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas\" case that called for an end to racial segregation. African Americans joined City College for the first time at the end of that summer, in September 1954 and became a significant proportion of the student population by the 1960s. Mr. Pierre H. Davis, also later became the first \"Negro\"/\"Colored\" teacher to join the B.C.C. faculty the following year, who coincidentally became the first Afro-American principal in 1970. The school saw further changes in the student population with the admission of women in 1978.Academic standards and enrollment at the Baltimore City College (B.C.C.) went through a period of decline first in the mid 1960s to mid 1970s. The 'A' and 'B' courses were slowly dying out and unfortunately discontinued by 1973, and a single academic track was offered.After another period of neglect in the late 1980s and early 1990s, by the mid-1990s, with an increase in funding from the school system, the B.C.C. began to experience a turnaround. Administrators re-strengthened academic standards and, in 1998, the school began offering the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program. By the beginning of the decade of the 2000s, City College was experiencing an academic resurgence. During this period the school was recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a National Blue Ribbon School, was listed as one of the top high schools in the United States by Newsweek.".
