Main
Street Elementary School was first erected in 1876 and was called East
Friends Street School. In 1907 an addition was built to the south end of the
building and the name was changed to Main Street Elementary School. In 1960, a new and separate building was
erected at the southwest corner of the old building, creating a two-building
campus. In 1974, a new addition was added on the
East side of the 1960 addition. This addition houses the new and beautiful
open-spaced Library Learning Center of which all students are encouraged to
make good use. In the summer of 1976, the 1876 and 1907
structures were demolished. This made more room for our attractive North
playground. Our most famous alumnus are Captain Eddie
Rickenbacker of World War I flying fame, and James Clemons, professional
basketball coach. Main
Street School was the first school in Columbus to use computers to assist in
teaching remedial reading. This has been a very successful program and Main
Street Elementary has been a very successful school. |
