EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph, dated 1906, captures the grandeur of Curtis High School in New Brighton, Staten Island, New York, USA. The image transports us back in time to the early 1900s, an era of growth and progress in American education. Located on the southwestern tip of Staten Island, Curtis High School was established in 1892 and named after former New York Governor, Thomas C. Curtis. The school's imposing architecture, with its red brick facade, tall columns, and intricate stonework, reflects the ambition and optimism of the community. The photograph shows the main entrance of the school, where students of all backgrounds and socio-economic statuses would gather to begin their educational journey. The seats in the foreground, arranged in neat rows, hint at the importance placed on learning and the disciplined approach to education during this period. The United States was undergoing significant changes during the early 1900s, with a growing emphasis on public education and the belief that it was the key to social mobility and a better future for individuals and communities. Curtis High School, with its impressive facilities and commitment to providing quality education, was at the forefront of this movement in New York State and Staten Island. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of Curtis High School and its role in shaping the lives of generations of students. It serves as a reminder of the importance of education and the impact it can have on individuals and communities, a value that remains relevant today.
