In 1886 the first school was built in the area that would become Upland.  It was referred to as the 18th Street School and was located on... 18th Street west of Euclid, about where the current Pioneer Middle School is now located.

 In 1919 it was moved to the northeast corner of Campus and 13th to serve as a school for the labor camp children.  About 1950, it closed and the property was sold to the Pantoja family.  It was later used as a Boys Club and was demolished by about 1971.

 We are looking for information on this school.  We have deed records and a few details, but we would love to get some photos and stories of it when it was located on Campus and when it later became the Boys Club.  We have a pretty good collection of school pictures but just recently received the first two of children taken on the back steps.
