The Tech Training School

Ce r ta in grades of the Seventh Street E lementary School were used to t ra in future teache rs .

The , eve nth Street School was acqui red by Te h a nd be ame the Tech Training School.

The Tech Tra1ning School had construction ce>s ting $125, 000 and was ready to accommodate grades l-8 .

The Tech Tra.ining Scho'.)l PTA Collection consists of nineteen scrapbo0ks spanning the years from 1942-66. Most scrapbo:Jks contain memoirs from '.)ne school year only. Photographs, student art work and newspaper clippings are included.

The primary purpose of the scrapbooks was to keep a record of goa Ls and accomplishments of the PTA for that particular school year. State-wide PTA activities, special events and student programs are also highlighted throughout the c1llection.
