Pulaski is a large high school located on Milwaukee's south side.
It is named after Casimir Pulaski, a Polish nobleman who came to fight in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War.
Recruited in Paris by Benjamin Franklin, for his talent as a horseman and zeal for liberty, Pulaski joined Gen. George Washington's army in 1777 and led a flanking maneuver that saved the Continental Army at the Battle of Brandywine.
Pulaski created his Cavalry Legion, equipped and armed as lancers and dragoons in the style of his home country and trained to those standards.
[4] Casimir Pulaski High School is located at the corner of Oklahoma and 27th in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
