On October 1, 1889, the Ogden Military Academy opened with 70 resident students and 50 cadets at 200 North Washington Boulevard. It was advertised as a "boarding school for boys and men strictly military in character." The school charged each cadet a fee of $750 per year to cover his schooling and room and board. The school had varied academic courses and some were taught under the direction of United States Army officers. By 1897, the school became the State Industrial School. |
| 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. |
