 THE HISTORY:
As one of the oldest high schools in Philadelphia, the original Thomas A. Edison High School building was opened in 1890 as the all male Northeast Manual Training High School located at 8th Street and Lehigh Avenue. Eventually the school became Northeast High School in 1905 when the Northeast Manual Training High School moved to a new location and changed its name to Northeast High School for Boys. The auditorium was added in 1916 and in 1936 vocational education shops and many regular classrooms were added to the original building. Later, the school was named the Julia De Burgos Bilingual Magnet Middle School after the famous poet.
