Current Configuration
The high school has been replaced by six separate high schools which operate on different floors of the building. Students wear uniforms to distinguish them from the other schools and have separate lunch and dismissal times. The schools, listed by the date of their entry into the campus, are:
- 2002 - High School for Law, Advocacy, and Community Justice
- 2002 - High School of the Arts and Technology
- 2003 - Manhattan/Hunter College High School for Sciences
- 2005 - High School for Arts, Imagination And Inquiry
- 2006 - Urban Assembly School For Media Studies
- 2006 - Manhattan Theatre Lab High School (founded 2004, move into complex 2006)
The first two small, themed high schools were founded within the Martin Luther King campus in 2002 as administratively separate units from the main school. Originally, they were called the Martin Luther King, Jr. High School for Law, Advocacy, and Community Justice and the Martin Luther King, Jr. High School of the Arts and Technology, but both have since officially dropped the "Martin Luther King" name.
The addition of the sixth school was opposed by some parents of the other five, as before the move each school was able to occupy an entire floor.

Famous quotes containing the word current:
“The English language may hold a more disagreeable combination of words than “The doctor will see you now.” I am willing to concede something to the phrase “Have you anything to say before the current is turned on?””
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
