My name is Deborah Harrell, I attended the 1st and 2nd grade, the last 2 yrs the school was open. My father Travis Harrell paid $100.00 that year for me to attend. I entered the 1st grade in 1956 I think before I turned 6, my birth date was just a bit after September 1st that year. My teacher was Ms. Nelson, I seem to recall that name. The school was closed down while in the 2nd grade, not sure if I finished it there are not. We were then bused to Blooming Grove.

I thought this interesting, as I was one of the last children to attend Emhouse. I know my Father graduated Emhouse.

I would enjoy hearing if you find out if it closed in 1956 or 1957.

Sincerely,

Deborah Harrell
