PHOTO OF TEACHER AND STUDENTS OF HUNDRED YEARS AGO

This is a photo taken on the main entrance to the old Central School in Nephi, Utah which was located on Track Street at about 135 East and 100 North. It became Nephi High when the local people demanded higher education, so school officials made the top floor to Nephi High, which was the first rural high school in the State, and they had excellent teachers. Through the years it had a lot of changes and that main entrance was modified to be an auditorium. The bell tower was taken down and the bell was moved to Nephi's Pioneer Park, but is in transition to be return to the area of the Central School which is now referred to as Nephi's Town Square Park. The students of the graduating class are standing on what was the main entrance of the school. That would have been 6th or 7th grade. Through the years that building has been through many changes and eventually tore down with local people shedding tears as they were the ones who pushed the school folks to build it.
