Staples High School: 120 Years of A+ Education
By Dan Woog
400 pages, 150 photos, and 120 years of memories
The Westport Historical Society is a proud sponsor of Staples High School: 120 Years of A+ Education. This book is about the history of Staples High School from 1884 through today. It’s more than the story of one renowned, innovative high school, it’s also the tale of the men and women who made it what it is today. A story of public education in America, and an intriguing look at the growth of Westport, Connecticut, from farming village to artists’ colony to the noted suburb it is today.
Copies of the book may be purchased at the Westport Historical Society, 25 Avery Place in Westport, or online at www.StaplesHistory.com and www.ItascaBooks.com.
The Westport Historical Society offers several other books about Westport’s rich history.
