Need help with some possible Oklahoma History.?

Question

I just moved here to Oklahoma and I am redoing an old house. Well we found a picture of the graduation class of 1912. I live in a small town named Cleveland and I don't know if there was a school here at that time.We aren't sure if they went to school here in Oklahoma or if they went to a school in a different state then moved here.So this leads to my question how can I find out if there was even a school in Oklhaoma at the time and if there was a school in my town at the time?Also would the historical society or the local libary be able to tell me who lived in my house at the time and some more things that could help me figure out who it is in the picture?

Answer 1

Yes, I think you're on the right track with the historical society and library.  There is probably a local or county heritage or genealogy society that would love to have a look at the photo.

You could also check with the local school districts.  Can you tell if it's a grammar school or high school?

I hope you post what you find out about this.
