High School of Graphic Communication Arts

is a vocational high school located in the Hell's Kitchen section of Manhattan in New York City.

[2] The school is home to a mural, located at its main entrance, that was designed by Hans Hofmann, one of the leading artists of the Abstract Expressionist movement.

[4] On 26 April 2012, the city's Board of Education voted to close the school after the then-current class graduated in June 2012.

However, on June 29, 2012, a ruling by a legal arbitrator announced that all 24 schools slated to close under the city's "Turn Around" program (which included Graphics) would remain open.

The ruling halted a central element of Mayor Michael Bloomberg's plans for closing and reopening the affected schools, saying its method for overhauling the staff at those institutions violated existing labor contracts.
