Humiston School (1912)

The predecessor to the Humiston School in Cheshire opened in 1894 and served as the town’s high school until 1906, when it closed due to dwindling enrollment and a lack of funding. The old building was razed in 1911 and a new school was erected in 1912, with financial support from Miss Julia Ann Humiston. She did not live to see the opening of the school, which was named for father Daniel Humiston. The school closed in 1971 and the building has since been used as school administration offices as as an alternative high school for approximately 15 to 30 students per year.
