History

Metro opened in 1972 in a five-room building at 2135 Chouteau Avenue as one of the first magnet schools in the St. Louis Public Schools.[2] In the 1970s, the school moved to the Temple Israel building at 5017 Washington Boulevard, and in 1996, it moved to its current location in a purpose-built school building.[2]

In 1997, the school's founder and principal, Betty Wheeler, retired.[3] Her replacement, Pamela Randall, served until 2003, when she entered district administration and later served as superintendent of the St. Louis Public Schools.[4] Randall's replacement, Wilfred Doug Moore, was principal from 2003-2017.[5] Steve Lawler is the current principal.[6]

All Metro students are required to perform 300 hours of community service prior to graduation.[7][8]

Metro has been ranked among the top public high schools by Newsweek and has won national and state-level awards for quality. For the 2003–2004 school year, Metro was named a Missouri Gold Star school and a national Blue Ribbon school.[9] It was again named a Missouri Gold Star school and Blue Ribbon school in 2007–2008.[9] In 2012, Newsweek ranked the school as 125 out of the top 1,000 public high schools in the United States.[10] In 2016, the school earned the top scores for Missouri end-of-course exams in English, science, and social studies in the state.[11] In May 2018, Metro earned the top ranking in the state.[12]
