Qublic Schools of gift. Wealthy Eighteen hundred thirty-seven-Nineteen hundred thirty-seven! A century of progress in education! One hundred years ago in March, Ohio's state public school system was born with the election of the first state school officer. Since that date twenty-seven men have served as chief education officer of the state, each endeavoring to bring improve- ment in education. Along with the advancement of Ohio, the village of Mt. Healthy has progressed. The first school within the present Mt. Healthy School District was a log cabin which stood on the old Hoffner homestead at the corner of Compton and Perry Streets. In this building Alice and Phoebe Carey first attended school. Later the children of Mt. Pleasant, as Mt. Healthy was then called, attended school in a brick building which stood on the West side of Hamilton Avenue just north of McMakin Avenue and also in the build- ing on Compton Road Where Dr. Abbott now lives and has his store. After these buildings had served their purpose, in the eighteen forties, the village was divided into school districts, one east and one West of the main street. In the district east of Hamilton Avenue the school was conducted in a building on Perry Street just north of the Methodist Church. The building, although remodeled, is still standing and is used as a residence. In the district west of Hamilton Avenue the school was on Harrison Avenue. It was a brick building which is still standing across the street from our present school house. It too is used for a residence. page six
