My Mother and a Father both graduated from there. My Uncle Max Towson lived right next door.
My grandmother graduated from there in 1940. I still have her senior ring.
Is this school still open? I went to kindergarten at Irwin Academy. I think about it often and would love to take a look inside my classroom.
I attended this school first thru eighth grade until we moved to Firzgerald. Years 1934-1942.
Beautiful old building…
