In the fall of 1896, The Utah School for the Deaf opened on Twentieth Street between Monroe and Jackson. The law required that all deaf students from the age of eight to eighteen attend. The aim of the school was “to develop self-respecting, self-supporting individuals who, in spite of their handicaps, can sustain themselves in ordinary society.” They were schooled in Domestic Science, Physical Culture and Manual Training. |
| 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. |
