Ms. McGalliard was another Principal from "the old school" who insisted on self control, discipline, and good manners. I originally assumed that like Emily Reynolds, and Leona Kistardt both of whom had schools named for them. that Thirza Sterling McGalliard was also named for her as a prominent Hamilton school employee. However, once again, I was in error. I am informed that the school was named for William McGalliard whose farm was part of the property on which the school is located. Thanks for the correction, "Peggy." who wrote:
Tom, I thought McGalliard Elementary was formally called William J. McGalliard or a name similar to that, not Thirza McGalliard Elementary. Am I wrong?
