Conant High School started with an idea – an idea that every child in Jaffrey deserved a free secondary education, which was not a universal concept when the school was first established by John Conant 150 years ago.
“He believed every child should have a really good education,” said Karen Ayers, member of the Jaffrey Historical Society.
The Jaffrey Historical Society is marking the anniversary with an exhibit on the top floor of the Jaffrey Public Library, featuring information about the history of the high school, as well as artifacts such as slate chalkboards and yearbooks from the school’s past, donated over the years to the Historical Society’s collection.
