UHS History

On the afternoon of June 5th, David Jones and I got to spend an hour with Janet Glidden Jerome who graduated in the College High class of 1956.  Janet is celebrating 70 years since her graduation and is full of great stories of her time in high school at College High in Kepner Hall on the UNC campus.  When she was five and six years old, she had her own dorm room in one of the halls where her mom was a dorm mother.

She shared one of her favorite memories of high school was when the elementary would do a sing-along on the first floor, and all of the junior and senior high students would watch from the balcony on the second floor.  Janet was the chairman of the Junior Red Cross committee and shared about a fundraiser that was a predecessor to our penny wars.  She was in choir, and played clarinet in the band, a member of National Honor Society, Pep Club, Student Leadership, Square Dancing Club and something called Mask and Sabre that appears to be the drama group.  

Janet talked about meeting her future husband in their church youth group.  She went on to become a business teacher in Kansas and Connecticut, and then a business owner with her husband here in Greeley for many years.

During her high school years, she ran around with three other girls, and they have remained close through all the years.  The two living members of their group are still close friends today.

In 2016, Janet was recognized during homecoming as one of our distinguished alumni, and has been kind enough to give us some of her memorabilia from high school and some of their reunions over the years.  She also gave us some yearbooks from the 1930's, and a school newspaper from 1932 called "Bulldog Tales" that were from the father of a friend.  We are hoping to set up a display of the history of our school in the near future.  If any of you are looking for a senior project and would be interested in helping me celebrate the history of our school, please reach out and let me know.  I am also always interested in meeting alumni from our school and hearing their stories and some of the great things that have been in our school for over 125 years!

Go Bulldogs!
