History of the High School THE Homestead High School was founded in 1890 in the building which is now the First Ward Grade School. The building now occupied by the High School was opened in 1912. Miss Lula Buffington was the first principal. In 1893 she was succeeded bv Mrs. L. J. Williams who remained principal until 1925, when Mr. George Gould took over the duties. The first graduating class in 1890 was composed of three graduates. They have increased from year to year until in 1924, the number had augmented to 74. In 1925, the number had passed the one hundred mark, when one hundred and two pupils received their diplomas. The Mid-year graduation was inaugurated in 1922, the first class having six graduates. In 1929, the eighth mid-vear Commencement, there were forty-one. The greater interest and realization of the value of a High School educa- tion may be realized from the fact that in a span of thirty-nine years, the number of graduates has increased from three to 120.
