A lot can be learned about the history of a town by studying one of its schools. Academics, athletics, values, families, friends and enemies all come together under one roof, and for nine months a year a sort of mini-town exists. For over 90 years Whitefish has used the Central School to teach its children, greet its visitors and separate its business district from its residential area. Now the town has closed the doors on the building and knocked down a landmark, but the stories and memories that the school helped create have survived. This photo page hopes to shed light on a few of the thousands of people who have passed through the now destroyed halls of Whtiefish's Central School.
