Manhattan Center for Science and Mathematics
Manhattan Center for Science and Mathematics (abbreviated as MCSM) is a public high school at East 116th Street between Pleasant Avenue and FDR Drive in East Harlem, within Upper Manhattan, New York City.
The school building, which was formerly Benjamin Franklin High School, was designated a New York City landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission on May 29, 2018.
The precursor of MCSM in the same building, Benjamin Franklin High School opened in 1934 and was sited at 200 Pleasant Avenue, between 114th Street and 116th Street. A long-time principal there was pioneering educational theorist Leonard Covello, the city's first Italian-American principal.
The New York City Board of Education shuttered the school in June 1982 for performance issues and converted the building into a four-year high school, the Manhattan Center for Science and Mathematics, and a grade 6-8 middle school, the Isaac Newton Middle School for Math and Science, effective September 1982. A CNN news clip can be seen highlighting the effective changes made during the transition from Benjamin Franklin High School to MCSM. It contrasts the school's transformation with the socioeconomic conditions of the surrounding area, illustrating the impact these changes had on students' perspectives and education.
Mount Sinai Hospital: A major medical institution located nearby, contributing to the area's significance in healthcare and research.
Marcus Garvey Park: A local park providing green space, recreational activities, and a cultural hub for the community.
Harlem's Cultural Scene: The neighborhood is home to a wealth of historical and cultural landmarks, such as the Apollo Theater, the Studio Museum in Harlem, and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.
East Harlem has been a focus for revitalization and community development in recent years, with new parks, businesses, and public spaces emerging. Initiatives like the East Harlem Neighborhood Plan aim to address affordable housing and community engagement, making the area a mix of modern growth with a focus on community preservation.
