Thanks to the Lowell National Historical Park for the reminder that on this day December 1, 1831, Lowell High opened its doors. As a former member of the faculty, I proudly salute Lowell High School for One-Hundred and Eighty-Three years of service and dedication to the students of Lowell – and at one time students from the surrounding towns. Learn more about Lowell High School here at the Center for Lowell History. A story about the recent restoration and re-dedication of the iconic Lowell High clock was posted here  on this blog just the other day by Dick Howe.
