They presented the facts to the School Board members, who decided to give the plan a few months' trial. The Board considered the idea because they were impressed by the fact that it would be a substantial saving of money to the District. After a few months, the School Board was so pleased with its success that they decided to add another year. Snowden Township High has shown a steady increase in enrollment. In the first year of the high school, 1933-1934, the enrollment of 87 was handled by two teachers, Mr. Weaver and Mr. Magill. During that year, however, there was only the Freshman grade, the next year a Sopho- more year was added. The new enrollment showed an increase of 70 students over the pre- vious year. The following year it was found impossible to add another year, therefore the Juniors were compelled to attend another school. Then the Iunior year was added for the term 1936-1937, and the enrollment totaled 211. Through the co-operation of the School Board, the citizens of Snowden Township, and the con- tracting company, the Senior year was estab- lished for the term 1937-1938. ln 1944, Mr. Weaver succeeded Mr. Cutshall as Supervising Principal of the Snowden Township Schools. For the 1946-1947 term, the eighth grades were moved to the high school from Broughton and Stewart as a result of the large enrollment at the grade schools. For the 1953-1954 term, the seventh grade was also moved to the high school, but the completion of four new rooms at Broughton enabled the seventh grades to return to the elementary buildings. Today the high school, consisting of five grades, has a total enrollment of 407 students, a considerable increase over the 87 who began here.
