Throwback Thursday: McKinley Kindergarten Class
School is back in session this #ThrowbackThursday!
A group of kindergarteners and two female teachers from McKinley School are posing on a porch in this 6-3/4″ x 4-3/4″ black and white photograph from around 1900-1915. McKinley School was located at 230 S. 15th Street in Lincoln, Nebraska from 1902 to 1927. It was used as an elementary school until 1915 when it became a “special school with grades 1-9 with prevocational and evening classes.”
This image is published and owned by Lincoln Public Schools. Over the past 15 years, the Library Media Services Department has made a deliberate attempt to collect, preserve, and archive the history of Lincoln public schools and make various items available to the staff and also the public.
