Ironi He High School (Hebrew: תיכון עירוני ה'), nicknamed The Dr. Shaul Levin Municipal High School (Hebrew: ד"ר שאול לוין) is a secondary school on Ben Yehuda Street in Tel Aviv in the Northwest section of the Old North neighborhood of Tel Aviv,[1] the only secondary school in the district. It is ranked among one of the best high schools in Israel.
History
[edit]Ironi He was established in 1953 by Dr. Moshe Landau, who served as its principal from 1953 to 1986. Until 1955, it opereated in a temporary location on Henrietta Szold street. It later moved to Mazeh Street in Lev Tel Aviv. In 1965, it moved to its current location in a building designed by architect Aba Elhanani.[2]
Until the mid-1980s, the school only acted as a high school for grades 9 to 12. Following the national plan of the Ministry of Education, it was adjoined by a middle school, which was located inside of the former building of the Levinsky College of Education on Ben Yehuda street, 500 meters south of the high school. As of the 2020s, the two schools are located in the high school building, the Levinsky College, and a science and arts center that opened during the 2008–2009 school year.
