 HISTORY OF CORINTH HIGH SCHOOL Before 1891 there were two schools in the Village of Corinth One was conducted in the building now used as village hall on Main Street, and the other. The Palmer School, was located on the site of the pres- ent school building on Palmer Avenue, Each school was maintained sep- arately and business was conducted by a trustee. In 1890 the two districts were united and plans were executed for the erection of a new building. At that time William Harris was en- gaged as principal and continued his work until June, 1992. During his administration the new building was completed, occupied, and stands to this day, an old landmark on the eminence overlooking Palmer Avenue and the Hudson Valley. Mr. Franklin was principal of the school from September, 1892 until the end of school in June, 1893, and six assist- ant teachers were employed. In September 1893 the school was opened with A. M. Hollister, and six assistant teachers employed At the opening of the school there was one pupil with a preliminary certificate. During 1394, the school was advanced by the Regents to the grade of a Senior High School and in September 1894, the teachers training class was organ- ized. The following June 1895, a class of five pupils was graduated. In the class of 1900 twenty-three pupils were graduated,of these, eight continued their studies in advanced institutions of education. Four of them became eminent physicians. One became a prominent educa- tor whose name Is in Who1s Who in America. For many years he was head of the Modern Language Department in the New York City School system Fifteen of this class became teachers. Mr. Hollister continued as principal until February, 1915. Dur- ing his administration 302 pupils were graduated from the high school, 229 of whom became teachers. Eighty-nine continued study in higher Institutions of learning, five became doctors, three became dentists, five became lawyers,six Catholic priests and one a Methodist minister And so the decades have slipped by.
