Scope and content
9A Class Robert Gray School, January 1927. The school designed by E.J. Bresemann opened for classes in February of 1926. It was intended to serve the South Tacoma community and was named the Capt. Robert Gray Intermediate School. Gray was an American naval officer and explorer who, in 1792, was the first to sail a ship into the Columbia River. This was the first group of students to graduate from the intermediate course of study at the school. They for the most part would continue with their studies at Lincoln High School.
