The present building that now houses the school was built in 1959. It contains a mural at its' entrance designed by Hans Hofmann, one of the leading artists of Abstract Expressionist movement.[1] The building is located on West 49th Street between 9th and 10th Avenues, across the street from Park West High School. The current principal of the school is Jerod Resnick.[2]
