James Monroe High School (New York)
- James Monroe High School (New York)
James Monroe High School was a New York City public school located in the Soundview section of the Bronx.
Opened in 1924, the original school ran for seventy years before being shut down in 1994 for poor performance. The original building now houses four smaller high schools - The Monroe Academy for Visual Arts and Design (H.S. 692), The Monroe Academy for Business and Law (H.S. 690), The High School of World Cultures (H.S. 550), and Bronx Coalition Community School (H.S. 680). The building also houses an elementary school, The Bronx Little School.
The building was designed by William H. Gompert, who was the New York City Superintendent of School Buildings. The building was built by the T.A. Clarke Co., and is substantially identical to a handful of other high school buildings which were built in the city at the same time.
