thebluester

Welcome to your cyber school newspaper. Do you remember when you were a student at New Ross High School and your monthly paper was called The Bluester? I hope you enjoy your trip down memory lane as you look at pictures from the very beginning of NRHS to consolidation in 1971. If you have any additions, corrections, or suggestions, drop me a note or send me a picture and I'll post it on your blog. If you double click on the pictures, they will get bigger. Have fun.

Greenwood School 1873-1925


The Greenwood School was built in 1873 right after the town of Valley City petitioned the state of Indiana and Montgomery County to change the name used by the train station to the name used by the post office. That is how Valley City was named after a small town in Ireland named New Ross. The school was built on the corner of the Lytle farm at the intersection of the Whitesville Road (500 S) and 775 E. Two large old trees shaded the schoolyard.
