Description:Coffee table book. Pictorial history of the McClain High School of Greenfield Ohio in Highland County.“It’s almost a fairy tale, the story of McClain High School. Edward Lee McClain, the benefactor, rises from a working class boy in a harness shop to become a successful entrepreneur who amasses great wealth. As he reaches the stage of his life where he begins to ponder his legacy, he expresses to friends that he would like to leave something in his beloved Greenfield that will serve residents for generations to come.“With this noble goal in mind and the means to achieve that goal, McClain begins building a school – one that he would give to his hometown, one that would be inviting, modern and comfortable to students. He works with the most noted school architect in the country to build a school that would become a model for others nationwide.“With the culmination of the high school project, the fairy tale continues. McClain decides that the youth of Greenfield need more vocational training options, and reunites with his architect to add a vocational building which would also be a premier model nationally. The gifts keep coming. An athletic field, custodial cottages and a bus garage are additional gifts of McClain, given through the next decade.“The happily ever after of the fairy tale is what we celebrate today. After a century of educating Greenfield’s children, after over 9,000 graduates have earned their diplomas, after years of effort to maintain the lovely school, the gift McClain so generously gave to his beloved hometown continues to do just what he wished at the time he gave it: to benefit ‘the most good to the greatest number for the longest time.’”We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
