The Springcreek School Staff Photograph Collection
Introduction
The Springcreek School Staff Photograph Collection was accessioned into the archives of the Piqua Public Library as a donation by Mr. Steve Greggerson in January 2015. The photographs in the collection were used as part of the dedication ceremony and open house for the new Springcreek Primary School. The Springcreek School was a township school from the time of its construction in the 1920’s until it was merged into the Piqua City Schools at the beginning of the 1969-70 school year. As a township school it housed grades kindergarten through eighth grade. The students then went to one of Piqua’s junior high schools for their ninth grade year and then to Piqua High School. In the Piqua City School District, Springcreek had several grade arrangements starting as a kindergarten through sixth grade and ultimately becoming and first through third grade building. The new Springcreek Primary School, which opened in December 2014, will house grades kindergarten through third grade.
The collection is housed in two Hollinger boxes containing a total of 203 files. The ownership and control of the collection has been transferred to Piqua Public Library Archives and Special Collections and as such is open to researchers. There are no restrictions on the use of these photographs.
