2011: GRICE MIDDLE SCHOOL AT 50 YEARS
Is there any doubt in anyone's mind who is over 60 years old how time flies? 50 years ago, in 1961, Hamilton's two new "middle schools" were opened and changed our local educational process forever. From the relatively rural "K through 8" system which I and many of my contemporaries experienced, to the current system wherein students begin their elementary education in our local grammar schools from "K through 5," then move on to our two middle schools, Grice an Reynolds for "6 through 8," then on to one of our 3 high schools for "9 through 12."

Tom,
ReplyDeleteI remember Grice well. Started 7th grade in sept. 64 and left after completing 9th grade in june 67. Then moved to the new Steinert High Building in sept. 67. I hope to visit you soon with some more Hamilton stuff including Grice yearbooks etc. Steve
Just learned today that my brother went to Kuser for 2 years and then to Grice, before going to HHS.
ReplyDeleteMy family name is Grice. Interested to know where the name of the school originated from. I was originally born in the UK.
