A walk down Memory Lane………..

Antis Township High School,

a four room building built in 1907, near the corner

of Martin and South Second Street.

In 1938, a consolidation took place between

Antis Township and the Bellwood Schools becoming

the Bellwood-Antis School District. Shortly after the

consolidation the Antis High School became the

Bellwood Elementary building for the elementary

students from the Antis Township area.

Bellwood Elementary School- In the 1951-52 school year, twenty-two classmates from the graduating Class of ’62 started first grade class in this building in Mrs. Altman or Miss Tree’s. In the late 1950's, the school building caught on fire and was torn down.

Starting First grade was a new adventure into a new world for all of us...
