Flushing High School is a four-year public high school in Flushing, in the New York City borough of Queens. The school is operated by the New York City Department of Education.
Flushing High School, founded in 1875, is the oldest public high school in New York City.
The school, currently located on Northern Boulevard, is housed in a distinctive Neo-Gothic style building featuring turrets and gargoyles. It was built in 1912-1915, with another wing added in 1954. The WPA’s Federal Art Project funded four murals which were installed in 1938.
The building was designated as a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1991. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
Archie Bunker, the fictional character from the 1970s American television sitcom All in the Family, attended Flushing High School.
