Lake County, Munster, Lanier School Students 1932/1933 Ammendment 5/7/2000 "Lanier was not the first grade school in Munster. The first school was as early as 1852 on Ridge Rd. at Greenwood. The second was a larger one room built on the north side of Ridge at the same intersection. It was built in 1870. In 1875 a three room school was then built at the corner of Calumet and Ridge. In 1914 it became the Town Hall and was torn down in 1920. In 1914 the "Munster School" you are referring to was built. It was called by that name until 1950 when it was renamed J.F.D. Lanier. " These are records taken from Lanier School, which was the first (SEE AMMENDMENT ABOVE) (and only) elementary and middle school in Munster for many years. Lanier was later torn down and was located on the present-day site of the Performing Arts Center on Ridge Road in Munster. The Superintendent of Schools in the mid-1970's made the decision to destroy many old school records. Since my mother had grown up in Munster (as had her Mother's family) and since she was a school employee, she took some of the records and put them away, as she hated to see them being destroyed. Many of the names are names that are very well-known in Lake County, especially Munster and Highland and some are even well-known families from Lansing, Illinois. Many of these family names listed below have streets and family businesses that still exist. I hope you will see fit to post this information on your Lake County web site. I am turning the original copies over to the Munster Historical Society.
