Seventy-five ears of Progress ' npHE history of the Highland Park Schools has been representative of the - - struggle of early Kansans for education. The district was born sirnul- taneously with the state of Kansas, as it was organized March seventh, eigh- teen hundred and sixty-two. under the direction of Peter McVicar. who was then county superintendent. The district was first called Tlanders . but the name was later changed to Highland Park . From the time the district was organized until eighteen hundred and sixty- eight, when the first school building was erected, a house was rented in which school was held. The first school house was constructed of stone and was of log- cabin size , at the corner of what is now formed by Twenty -seventh and Indiana streets. In the spirit of the Gay Nineties , with its tandem bike and horse and buggy. Highland Park ' s first brick grade school was built, in eighteen hundred and eighty-nine. The first teacher was Mr. J. G. Shull. and there were sixty- one pupils. A two-year high school course was introduced by Mr. Glenwood Jones in nineteen hundred and eleven, and these students of higher learning were quartered in the upper story of this building. This structure burned in April of nineteen hundred and twenty-six. and with it went the memories of many Highland Park alumni. In nineteen hundred and sixteen, while the bands were playing Tipperary and Over There , the present high school was built and a four year course established. It was organized as a Barnes High School, Ten persons stepped forward to receive diplomas at the first graduation exercises in nineteen hun- dred and seventeen. During the good old days of prosperity , the grade school building burned. The children attended school in the Highland Park Methodist Church until the present grade school was completed in November, nineteen hundred and twenty-six. And now with the aid of the United States Government, we look toward a bigger and better school. By the erection of this fine building, the residents of Highland Park show their regard for the future of the children of this dis- trict, and register their faith in the ever-growing spirit of optimism now sweeping over the country.
