I went to this school 1st and 2nd grade as did my older sister who attended 1st grade through 6th grade there . my 1st grade teacher Mrs Justice tought my dad and my uncle . before I was ever thought of 😃
My parents were teachers in Texas as well. My mom, who taught first grade, said she knew it was time to retire when she started teaching the grandchildren of her students.
I attended Ruffin School (Ruffin High School) from the first grade in 1956 until I graduated in 1968. Today, the Ruffin School building sits in similar decay as that at Monroeton. Sad. My brother was in the last graduating class at Ruffin in 1977. The next year, Rockingham County Senior High School opened mixing students from Ruffin, Wentworth, and Bethany, all former high schools in Rockingham County. Sometimes I think the county would have been better off if each of the three high schools had followed the lead of Stoneville and put off consolidation for a few more years. I actually taught at RCSHS in 1980-'82. It was strange being a colleague to so many great teachers, many I had when I was a student at Ruffin.
Frank, the exchange we had about a 52 Weeks photo a couple of weeks ago inspired me to go back and look at this set of pictures. Thanks for reading and commenting.

Thanks for reading!
I went here in fourth grade. My teachers were Mrs. Knight and Mrs. Costanoro. One of the best years, went to the jaw river for a three day field trip.
