Steilacoom Grade School, 1892 – 1916

The Steilacoom Historical Museum Association (SHMA) historical photo this week is of the Steilacoom Grade School built in 1892, the first substantial school built specifically for that purpose in Steilacoom. Prior classes had met in the courthouse, and before that, in a small one-room structure. In 1916, a new school was built adjacent to the 1892 school. That school building is still in use and is now called Pioneer School.
