Biographical NoteReturn to Top
A model elementary school was established at Washington State Normal School during the first year of its operation in 1891. In 1917, the school was named the Edison School after an agreement was made between the trustees of the Normal School and the Ellensburg School District for use of the training school building. After the completion of a new school building, the name was changed to the College Elementary School. Students at the Washington State Normal School put theory into practice by observing and teaching at the elementary school.
