Historical Commission Event - The School Buildings of Saugus

THE SCHOOL BUILDINGS OF SAUGUS

Take a walk down memory lane with the Saugus Historical Commission and discover the fascinating story of the Saugus Public Schools.  Beginning with one-room schools even before Saugus became a separate town, the presentation progresses through the proud history of each and every school in the town.  Why is this important?  As soon as the year 2021, there will only be three remaining schools in Saugus: a new Middle/High School complex, a primary elementary school at the Veterans Memorial School, and an upper-grade elementary school at the Belmonte School.  The remaining schools will either be demolished or re-purposed.  There are many adults living in Saugus today that attended these schools and have very fond memories of their childhood days.

The Commission’s goal to preserve the longstanding history of our town will be highlighted through its educational institutions.  A PowerPoint Presentation containing narration and pictures of school buildings and class pictures over the years will be featured as a part of this year’s Essex National Heritage Commission’s Trails and Sails Activities.  It will be held on Saturday, September 28 at 10:00 a.m. in the Town Hall Annex on 25R Main Street.

Parking will be available around back on Taylor Street and in the Roby School lot.
