I grew up in the eastend and attended Huffman School. It was a lovely old place, does anyone out there remember any of the teachers? My favorite was Miss Ford she was the Music teacher what a wonderful person she was. Also Mr. Fredericks was the principle Mr. Barnette vice principle. Some of them i remember best are Mrs. Nieprask (sp?), Mrs. Denlinger, Ms.Wetzel, Mr Lutz, Ms.Reese Phys Ed.and Mr Kurtz Art teacher. We used to have these wonderful festivals with all the rides and game booths, and the Christmas plays were always just beautiful. Too bad kids today don't get this type of background in grade school, now you usually only see plays at the high school level. The old place was turned into a senior living center and still looks pretty good.

I went to Charles L Loos School. I have good memories. I carried my lunch which meant a whole hour to play on the play ground. Great Friends! Mr. Train was our principle and I would see him in the summer too because he was the manager of Old River Pool.

I attended Westwood Elementary School 1947-1954. So, my question is: why can't I find any information at all about the school? It's like it never existed!
I think that one of my teachers, James Swinger, may have been principal at Loos School later on (a rumor really.)

Rolling Fields Elementary in Kettering '56-'62
I remember our principal Mr Warren with his "Board of Education". It had holes in it for lower wind resistance. I also remember movies in the gymnasium on saturdays.

Overlook in first-second, then Fairbrook in Beavercreek. Mr. Stoval always said, "I'm not asking you, I'm telling you!"

Leb - Olivehill Elementary School is closed. And so is Shilohview (my school), Broadmoor and Townview. They were closed a few years ago. The Trotwood-Madison City Schools website indicates that only the new Early Learning Center (at the Union Rd. school complex), Westbrooke Village and Madison Park are the only elementary schools still open in the district (and I believe I heard that Madison Park is also going to be closed?).

Olivehill is closed but I heard it was being used for school bus drivers in some capacity. But at least it is still standing. Shilohview, Broadmoor and Townview were demolished a few years ago. They are now just vacant lots and it makes me sad when I drive by. I went to Broadmoor all 6 years of elementary school.

I went to Lincoln Elementary School from 1952-1960.Back then there was no "middle school".Everyone went to the same school kindergarten through 8th grade and then 4 years of high school.
No school lunches or busses back then!You walked home for lunch and back to school after.School hours were 8:30-3:30 with an hour for lunch between 11:30-12:30.For me that was an 8 block walk 4 times a day.Kids got exercise just by going to school in those days!
I remember our principle Mr.Goodrich very well.After he retired the principle was Mr. Myers.Teachers I remember are Miss Slatt,Mr.Matthews,Miss Roush,Mr. Miller,Mr.Booker,Mrs.Arnovitz,Mr.Jullirat,Miss Brush,Mrs.Gardener,Mrs.Richards and Mrs.Lane.
We had a wonderful Christmas show every year and several "talent shows" throughtout the year.Everyone who wanted to participate was part of the show no matter how bad you were!I don't know how the poor parents were able to keep from laughing!Great ttimes for the kids......

Peggy, I went to Huffman School also, but I guess much earlier than you. I attended during the depression years from 1938-1944. I walked from Commercial Street where the Dayton Postoffice now stands. That was quite a long walk and we had to walk it 4 times a day, because we came home for lunch. In the 7th and 8th grade we walked even further one day a week when we went to Franklin School on the corner of Findlay and East Fifth Streets for home ec and manual training. Some of my teachers at Huffman School were Miss Copp, Miss Rockoff, Miss Clark, Miss Thomas, Mrs Ehlen, Miss Sefton and Mr. New was our Health and Gym teacher. Mr. Fredrick was there as principal and I also had Mr. Barnett for General Science. I remember we had a very unruly boy in our class and one time Mr. Barnett picked him up out of his seat and took him out in the coat hall (remember them) and hung him by his shirt on a coat hook and then he went down to get Mr. Fredrick and brought him up to deal with the boy. Can't you just picture a teacher being allowed to do something like that now-a-days. I wish they could. Another thing I remember about Huffman School is the gigantic Christmas tree they put up on the first floor at Christmas time and we would stand around it and sing Christmas carols. I visited it one last time when they invited former students before they made it into a retirement home. I picked up a brick where they were tearing a part of the school building down. Oh what memories Huffman School and Stivers High School hold for me.

I went to Southdale School in Kettering, starting in 1978. I think it had only been there for about twenty years, at that point, or maybe a little more. It's still there- recently it absorbed all of the kids who went to Moraine Meadows, which closed. I think the last time I was inside that school was at least twenty years ago, at this point. My sister went to a 50th anniversary thing (of its opening) there a few years ago, but I wasn't aware of it until after the fact. She told me about former teachers she saw who were there. I wish I'd gone.

Suddenly you were gone
From all the lives you left your mark upon
8/25/1967 - 7/23/1986
All I know is she sang a little while,
And then flew on

Went to Dorothy Lane Elementary School.Was next door to St. Albert the Great but no longer there. Mr Smith was principle, Mrs Swinehart first grade,Mrs. Nutt was 2nd, Mrs. Baughn third, Mrs.Herr fourth,she was one of the Groby girls and we took a field trip to their home close by and saw the orchards. Mrs Anderson was fifth grade and John Demick was 6th grade. From there went to Southdale for 7th, 8th grade was van buren, DL Barnes 9th and then to the new Fairmont until graduation. Many wonderful memories in my school years and liked pretty much all my teachers. Anyone from the Kettering schools would have also remembered Christine Wahl who was a teacher at several of the schools and then became a school counselor I believe.I graduated in 61 so all my school adventures began in 1950.

I started at the Wagner Elementary School at the corner of Harshman Rd and Beatrice Dr in 1952 or 53. First and second grade there. Third grade started at the old two room school house across the street. After a few weeks, the 3rd graders were bussed to a building at Wright Patt. Under a contract deal with the Mad River School District. It was probably because we over crowded the old two room school and the fact that it still used coal to heat it in the winter. At WPAFB, we went on base at Gate 19A. That s the last year that I rode a school bus to school.
The 4th grade thru 8th was at Mad River Elementary across Harshman Rd. from the then called Mad River (later Stebbins) High School. We could see the new high school being built as we were going to classes.
If I remember correctly, the new high school graduated its first class in 1959 as Mad River HS. Then Mr Stebbins passed away and the school was renamed in his honor and the first Stebbins class graduated in 1961.
Prior to that, at least some of the HS kids used to go to Northridge. I guess that wasca bit more than just the elementary school answer.
