Schools

Schools can be a great source of information for the genealogist or historian. School records, school pictures, yearbooks, and alumni associations can help provide the stuff a good family history is made of. Here are off-site links to the school districts and some other great information on this site, too.

Pictures are penny post cards in collection of Laura Hine. Left, St. Michael School in Cleveland. Right, West Technical High School
