(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I attended Edmondson from opeing day to graduate in June 1961. As I recall the first full 4 year graduated class. Graet times new building and coming from 91's Jr high for the 9th grade was an excellent move. Great memories especially the airforce commander who ran the place.

- I attended Edmondson in 1960-62. Wow, did we have a great varsity basketball team back then. Very happy memories there, so long ago. Go Redstorms! ( We were the Redskins, of course.) ;)
