ST SEBASTIAN CATHOLIC SCHOOL
ST. SEBASTIAN SCHOOL
Byron Township
|
In 1896, St. Sebastian School was started in a log building that served as a church on Sundays and a school during the week. The first teacher was Miss Beulah Lynch. She had about 22 pupils. Miss Lynch resigned during the school year in 1904, and was succeeded by Miss Frances Knauf who finished the term. In September 1908, the Dominican Sisters of Grand Rapids, in the persons of Mother Moniface and sisters Loretto and Felicitas took charge of the school with a greatly increased attendance. In October 1908, the congregation purchased the National Hotel at North Dorr and moved it to the parish grounds and it has served as school and convent since. The school has been staffed by the Dominican Sisters since that time. The present enrollment for 1957 of 44 pupils in 8 grades, is presided over by Sisters Mary Wenceslaus and Jane Anthony. |
