This is Abigail Behrens, traditionally named as one of @manhighgirls.bsky.social founders. A pioneer in women's education as a member of the Committee of the Manchester Association for the Promotion of the Education of Women from 1874-1875, she served as School Governor from 1875 – 1899.

Did you know Sarah Burstall, our 2nd Headmistress, gifted MHSG a stunning 126,000-stitch embroidery in 1928? It went missing but was rediscovered in 2022 and restored by the People’s History Museum. What a beautiful tribute to our history. 💛 #MHSG #SarahBurstall #FoundersDay
