North Division High School (Milwaukee)

A "Coalition to Save North Division" was formed, arguing that this school which had produced many African-American leaders for Milwaukee was being abolished, displacing black students and continuing a process of placing the burden of desegregation on them (at the time, the student body was 96.6% black).

[3] The Coalition eventually won: on May 1, 1980, the school board reversed itself, and North Division remained heavily African-American in composition.

[4] North Division was abolished, and its old campus divided into three smaller charter schools, in 2004.

[5] In Fall of 2011, it was announced that it was back in operation as North Division Virtual University High School, with "[n]ew classes, teachers and administrative staff for the 2011 - 2012 school year!".

[6] NDHS won state championships in boys' cross country in 1958 and 1960.
