Horace Mann High School

Horace Mann High School The now abandoned Horace Mann High School served the Gary community from 1928 to 2004.

The building takes its namesake from the progressive education reformer Horace Mann who advocated many of the things taken for granted in modern schools. As editor of the Common School Journal Mann advocated for public funding of public education, that public education be secular, available regardless of s*x or race, that teachers be accredited, and that education focus on supporting American demo

cratic ideals. Mann also recognized the importance of an expanded curriculum, comfortable learning facilities, and providing instructional material. During his lifetime these controversial ideas were considered a radical departure from the status quo. Most Americans today would not disagree with Mann’s basic assumptions about education.
