Donita Hortillosa: BHS became a grade school

The visit to BHS ruins brought memories of it becoming a grade school before it was closed from former student Donita Hortillosa

Donita Hortillosawrites:
Linda, to answer your question about the old school at Breeding, it closed in the fall of 1963. It was no longer a high school at that time. I attended first and second grades there and we were first grade through eighth, with Mr. Bernie Paxton the principal. Some of the teachers I remember were Mrs. Sallie Akin, Mrs. Louise Gowen, Mrs. Edra Page and Mrs. Wolford. When I entered third grade, we moved to Sparksville Grade Center in the fall of 1963, so I believe I am correct that the last class to graduate from Breeding would have been an eighth grade class in the the spring of 1963. - Donita Hortillosa
