Washington School celebrated its 100th anniversary in the year 2003.
At that time, students who attended Washington School during the 19th century were asked to write about memories of their school experiences. As you read these memory pages, some of the information presented may not be exactly as you, the reader, may recall. No doubt, due to the passage of time, certain facts and remembrances may have become not so clear and precise as they once were in reality. Bear this in mind and enjoy these stories for what they are, simply remembering old times at Washington School.
