Public School - Third Ward School

Title Public School - Third Ward School
Image Captions The Third Ward School was established in 1854 after the State School law to serve the population in the northwest part of Ogden. Miss Bumiss served as principal of the school. Teachers at the school such as Miss Stanford and Georgiana Fellows made $30 a month. The school had an enrollment of 86 students in 1883. The Grant school grew out of the Third Ward School when the education system stopped being church operated.
Description Ogden City was still evolving when the first school was established in 1850 with Charilla Abbott as the first teacher. The school system continued to grow with public and private institutions accepting students. A bond issue passed in 1890 allowing for new buildings, including the showplace school, Central. Ogden High School called the “best and most attractive school in the world” was opened on October 29, 1937 after a cost of $1.2 million. Ogden High School and others still stand as proof of the community’s commitment to education.
