Miranda Lux endowed a school in 1894 to teach girls five subjects: sewing and textiles, cooking, health, art and retailing and merchandising. The Lux School for Industrial Training for Girls opened in 08/1912 in facilities shared with the neighboring California School of Mechanical Arts also known as the Lick School. In 1913, Lux dedicated its own building, on property bought from Lick and and another nearby vocational school for boys, the Wilmerding School of Industrial Arts. For much of its history, Lux shared its principal, George Merrill, with Lick and Wilmerding. Under the same head, the three consolidated many operations, but retained independent endowments, boards of directors and curricula until 1939. Lux operated until 1952, when it ceased operations.
