Abstract:
Jefferson School, also known as Fifth Ward School, was built in 1877. Located on the corner of St. James and Caledonia Streets, it was razed in 1950, and was replaced by Jefferson Elementary, which opened to classes in 1950. Parent organizations were supportive of the school and its students. A Mother’s Club was formed in 1921, and by 1943, became the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA). The school operated for over fifty years until closed by the La Crosse School District at the end of the 2005 school year.

Materials in the collection include correspondence, newspaper clippings, minutes, miscellaneous materials, and photographs.
