Summit Avenue School

Summit Avenue School

This picture, actually taken from a post card, notes this building to be Pitman High School. At the time of this photo, this was the one and only school in Pitman, having replaced the original school house erected in 1884 on the same site.

The Pitman High School we attended was opened September 8, 1923 with L. Arthur Walton as the first principal.
