Did You Know....

JOHN FITZGERALD KENNEDY HIGH SCHOOL IN TAYLOR WAS
NAMED AFTER PRESIDENT KENNEDY-   I AM SURE YOU ALL KNEW
THAT-  BUT!!! IT WAS NAMED FOR HIM BEFORE HE WAS ASSASSINATED. 
I THOUGHT I HAD REMEMBERED THAT AND NOW IT IS CONFIRMED. 
 THANKS TO BOARD SECRETARY PATTIE RESOVSKY,
WHO ON HER OWN TIME READ THROUGH SEVERAL YEARS
OF BOARD MINUTES  AND CAME UP WITH THE VERIFICATION.

BOARD MINUTES OF FEBRUARY 6, 1963 INCLUDED THIS:
MR. TROLLEY MOVED SUPPORTED BY MR. DELP TO
RENAME THE NEW SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL THE "JOHN FITZGERALD
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL".  MOTION CARRIED.

NOTE THE DATE FEBRUARY 6, 1963-  AFTER YEARS OF TRYING
TO CONFIRM, I FINALLY HAVE CONFIRMATION ON
FEBRUARY 6, 2012.  NAMED ALMOST 9 MONTHS PRIOR TO HIS
ASSASSINATION NOVEMBER 22, 1963.  THE FIRST CLASSES DID
NOT MOVE IN TO THE BUILDING UNTIL FEBRUARY OF 1965 AND 
THE FIRST GRADUATION WAS JUNE OF 1966.

NOW ----- I ALSO THINK JFK HERE IN TAYLOR WAS THE FIRST
HIGH SCHOOL IN THE COUNTRY NAMED FOR PRESIDENT KENNEDY..  
DO ANY OF YOU HAVE ANY IDEA OF HOW I CAN LOOK FOR THAT VERIFICATION. 

 

Congratulations Greg!!!
