They did this as they believed "good schools would provide good settlers". Nine years previously, <a href="/wiki/Harriet_Bishop" title="Harriet Bishop">Harriet Bishop</a> moved to the at the time small but growing city of St. Paul. She was part of a program led by educational reformer <a href="/wiki/Catharine_Beecher" title="Catharine Beecher">Catharine Beecher</a> that was designed to help educate frontier children. As part of the program, she volunteered to teach the children of St. Paul. Harriet Bishop is credited with starting the first public school in the Saint Paul Public Schools district. </p><p>In 1870, two students by the names of Fannie Hayes and A. P. Warren became the first two students to graduate from Saint Paul High School. Nine years later in 1879, Saint Paul High School was renamed to Central High School. Grover Cleveland High School was established in 1897; it was renamed to Johnson Senior High School in 1911. By 1906, the Saint Paul Public Schools district had around 27,940 students attending it. Eight years later in 1914, the Saint Paul city government took control of all educational matters. However, after 36 years of government control and extensive protesting from citizens, the Saint Paul Public Schools Board of Education was reinstated in 1950. </p><p>In 1954, the <a href="/wiki/US_Supreme_Court" class="mw-redirect" title="US Supreme Court">US Supreme Court</a> ruled that public education between minorities and the majority could not be equal if it remained "separated". A decade later in 1964, the Saint Paul Public Schools district addressed the issue of racial injustice and started developing solutions so that students would have equal access to education. </p><p>On February 28, 2004, over 6,000 students, parents, and school staff rallied at the Capitol for the government to support more education funding.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Special_programs">Special programs</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Saint_Paul_Public_Schools&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Special programs"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="LEAP_-_International_Academy">LEAP - International Academy</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Saint_Paul_Public_Schools&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: LEAP - International Academy"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In Fall of 1994, Saint Paul Public Schools started the <b>Limited English Achievement Program</b> (<b>LEAP</b>) as a school completely dedicated to English language learners (ELL) aged 16 to 24 years.
