From its founding by its citizens in 1863 to its struggle through the depression years, this book tells the story of a high school educational system's growth and development in a small town in Iowa. Photographs and text from class yearbooks added to a history written by a 1935 freshman class in English bring to life the students, the staff, the school buildings, and the activities of the school.

This fascinating history of one of Ohio's most distinguished public schools, Harding High School, traces the school's humble beginnings in the early 20th century to its emergence as a powerhouse of education and athletics. With compelling narratives and stunning archival photographs, this book is a must-read for alumni, educators, and anyone interested in the rich history of American public education.
