outside
your school
We're surrounded by history. In order to get a sense
of our history, we need to find some clues to the past. The clues are all
around us, if you know where to look. The first place to look
is outside your
school. Many older schools have the date they were opened carved in
stone or painted over the main entrance to the school building. Some schools have ceremonial corner stones, indicating
when the foundation of the building was laid; other schools have bronze plaques
identifying the architects and engineers who designed and built the
school. Many newer schools have a dedication plaque, indicating when the
school was officially opened.
