Histofzxl 06 Hafzveml gclzool In 1852 a society of education deeded to the city of Painesville the grounds and school buildings it had bought and erected for educational purposes. With these aids a newly elected school board built up a system of grammar and high schools. The schools were conducted by the board until 1855, when George E. Howe became superintendent. At the end of his first year, he accepted a better pos- ition elsewhere and was replaced by the Rev. E. H. Hawley. The high school at this time was much inferior to the present high school. Latin, for instance, had been but recently introduced and claimed only three students. In 1858 a new building was erected at a cost of 5B13,000. When the new school opened in 1861, there were nine teachers comprising the staff. Three years later Professor Harvey became the superintendent. Under his administration a new building was erected on St. Clair St., and the class of '68, the first to graduate, consisted of four young ladies and one young gentleman. Professor Harvey accepted the post of State School Com- missioner and left the high school. Vvithin twenty years the school had grown so large that a new building, the present junior high school, was erected, and the year 1919 saw the con- struction of the present Harvey building. Painesville has taken great pride, not only in this rapid growth, but also in the standards of scholarship and character which have been emphasized continually throughout these years. ten
