Eighth graders at Fern Hill School pose in front of the elementary school's brick facade on June 3, 1924. Fern Hill School began as Byrd School in 1880 and was used by settlers as a church and also a Sunday School at what is now 86th & Park Avenue. When the City of Tacoma expanded its boundaries in 1910, the school (by then re-named Fern Hill School) was annexed to the Tacoma School District. Land was purchased in 1911 and a new Fern Hill School was built at the present location. Since then the school has been remodeled several times, the most recently in 2005-6.
