HISTORY OF HAMILTON HIGH SCHOOL Hamilton ' s first high school was the home; her only teachers were the parents themselves. Later the town ministry (with mercy for parents in their hearts) assumed the task of educating their child popu- lation - each church served as a school for those in its own parish. Eventually the parsons faded away, and a one-room school house with a genuine teacher appeared on the education scene. Every day the students were herded into the barge (archaic; school bus) and hauled away to school. Times have changed since then. Our lab buffalo and the present Alexander Hamilton High School are becoming extinct (or at least moth-eaten), and a new Hamilton- Wenham Regional High School is coming into its own.
