The Louisville Girls High School opened as Female High School in 1856 at what became the intersection of Armory Place and Muhammad Ali Boulevard. It was the female counterpart to Male High School, also opened in 1856, and they were the first two public high schools in Louisville. Female High School moved to a location on First Street north of Chestnut in 1864 and remained there until 1899 when it moved to a location at Fifth and Hill Streets. It changed its name to Louisville Girls High School in 1911.<ref name="enc">{{cite encyclopedia|encyclopedia=The Encyclopedia of Louisville|editor=Kleber, John E.|year=2001|title=Louisville Girls High School|author=McEwan, Maxine Crouch|page=551|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=pXbYITw4ZesC|access-date=May 6, 2009 | isbn=978-0-8131-2100-0 | publisher=University Press of Kentucky}}</ref>
