Eleanor was nice enough to share photos of Concord High over the years with us. The class of 1949 was unique in that it attended all three incarnations of the school. Eleanor writes, “After the new junior high was built, the name went with it. About one block from the old high school/junior high school was Kimball School, an elementary school. Because it was in disrepair, it was torn down and its name moved to the former high school/junior high school building.” This is the building the school district plans to replace with a school serving elementary students from Kimball and Walker. Eleanor adds that there are a group from the class who attended the old Kimball School before it was razed.
That’s an impressive history, Eleanor!
