Scope and content
Graduation class at Hawthorne School on steps of school building in January of 1926. Hawthorne was one of the oldest schools in Tacoma, starting as East school in 1885 in a former store. Its enrollment peaked in the early 1900's when it was the district's 3rd largest school. As more schools opened in the east and south portions of the city, enrollment declined. This smaller school was opened in 1913 at 28th and E. F St. It was closed in 1963 and demolished in 1981 to make way for the Tacoma Dome. (WSHS)
