The Schenley Experiment: A Social History of Pittsburgh's First Public High School

Abstract

While Jake Oresick is hardly an unbiased observer, as this 2001 graduate of Schenley High School illustrated in his 2008 article titled “Why We Fight for Schenley,” he nonetheless has managed to present a well-balanced and well-written study of the school in Pittsburgh’s Oakland neighborhood. The author analyses Schenley High School as a social incubator for class, race, and ethnicity.
