Description
Sanford Grammar School's Monthly Payroll Report for the period of September 14, 1955, to October 10, 1955. The principal was Harold R. Heckenbach, who served from 1953 to 1960. The payroll included twelve teachers: Maida Ansley, Catherine Ball, Elizabeth Billhimer, Rachel Brinson, Alice Grant, Eula Grantham, Richard Jones, Alice Ratliff, Roberta Richards, Jewell Riser, Sybil Routh, and Margaret Wright. Other employees included three substitute teachers, one secretary, and one janitor: Nell Atkinson, Marcile Dampier, Ava Davis, Elynor Dutton, and J. E. Broadhead, respectively.
Originally established as Sanford High School, the main building was constructed at 301 West Seventh Street in Sanford, Florida, in 1902. The building was designed by W. G. Talley in the Romanesque revival style. Due to an increasing student population, a new school building was constructed on the corner of East Ninth Street and South Palmetto Avenue in 1911. The original building on Seventh Street served as Westside Grammar Elementary School, which was later renamed Sanford Grammar School. After a desperate need for an addition to the school developed, the city granted the school $75,000. The school's lunchroom was opened on October 10, 1921, after months of fundraising efforts hosted by the Woman's Club. In November 23, 1984, the main school building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places and converted into the Student Museum. However, despite objections from the community, the lunchroom was demolished on September 25, 2008. The main school building reopened as the University of Central Florida's Public History Center in 2012.
