Union High School was established in the early 1900's and was closed in the late 1940's. It included grades 1-12. It was built on what is now known as Templeton Road near Public Wells Community.  I saved this photo because I knew so many of the people pictured here and they were important to my Father and many were special to me in my childhood.........Marilyn
