Central High School's 150th Year: Research
To hire a qualified historian to research the 150-year history of St. Paul's Central High School.
Available upon request. Contact grants@mnhs.org
Student engagement:
Because of timing issues, it was not possible to schedule our historian to visit a classroom in the spring.
Clarified focus for implementation:
Our history group has had a number of discussions with each other and the historian about possible next projects, however a decision has not been reached at this time.
Increased student and community knowledge:
An event was held on Sept. 6, 2016 honoring the 150th birthday of the school. The report was presented to the Lt. Governor and the Mayor, who honored the school by declaring the day St. Paul Central High School Day. Speakers highlighted pieces of the history as they presented. The report was shared with media prior to the event and copies were available for purchase at the event. The entire senior class was present at the event and the rest of the school watched the event via live feed from their classrooms. The event was also attended by community members, alumni, former teachers and principals, and was covered by the local news outlets.
Archival:
Archival at RCHS and MHS has not yet been completed, but will be by the end of the month. We are waiting for a few minor typos to be corrected prior to submitting for the archives.
