Highland Park Represent | Comments

I was born in Highland Park General Hospital, went to Liberty elementary through 8th grade. I graduated from Highland Park High and Highland Park General Hospital School of Nursing in the last graduating class of 1967. I worked in the ER at HPGH for a little over a year and then left for good. The junior highs were not designated until I was in high school and I had a good friend who went to Ford Elementary. I have forgotten a lot but I used to know highland Park very well. Don't tell me my mother was born there but I wasn't.

I think this quiz was done by a Parker much younger than me. There were no middle schools when I went there and it was Hackett Field House, but the athletic field was Ives Field. The elementary schools were Thompson, Barber Ferris Willard, Angel Liberty, and Ford.You need to get your facts straight.

The elementary schools were listed correctly, but I though the elementary school on Hamilton was Kathleen Bright. So, sorry Mickey, you're wrong...Cortland, not Ferris; Midland, not Ford; and Thompson, not Barber. Barber, Ford, and Ferris were the middle schools.

First of all, the elementary schools that were in HP when I grew up were: Thompson (Oakland Ave.), Ferris (Cortland Ave.), Barber (Buena Vista), Willard (Hamilton) and Ford on Pilgrim. You put certain schools in the groupings incorrectly. And, yes. I do know HP.

both Barber and Thompson were elementary. Thompson on Oakland went from k-12. When it closed we went to Barber. Ford and Ferris were middle. Hamilton and Davidson was Bright and named after a science teacher's mother if I remember correctly. I scored 93%.

I am a Detroit native but I was an HP police officer from 1968 thru 1971. I really should have done better but that's a long time ago to remember trivia about the schools.

Now, if you really want to do a quiz about HP, can you name the first African-American teacher hired in HP? Also, can you name the largest graduating class ever to graduate from HP?

wow great quiz. I think thompson shool was on brush betwwn buena vista and winona. The original elelmentary school was called angel and was located where angel park/storer park is off oakland.

and you know that!!!!!

this is the sh**
