Garrison School Celebrates 100 Years!

By Maddie

We as Garrison students, teachers, parents and community members should all be excited for the 100th Year anniversary that our school will be celebrating this coming September!

In 1908, our ancestors and former community members watched as the historic cornerstone was being laid for the Garrison School. As some of you may not know, the first school for Garrison stood in St. Philip's Church. When the school was built, it was one of the top schools in the state. It took only $20,000 to build the school. The old building is still intact, adjoining the beautiful addition that we know of today.

Our community will be holding celebrations on the weekend of September 26 so save the date!

  1. Dear Maddie,
    Your article is a great way for people to get intersted in our celebration next school year. You make it sound like something not-to-be-missed. Thanks for including the link, too.

    All the best, Mrs. Prentice
