Hebron School

On land purchased in 1913 for $3,000, construction of the Hebron School commenced in 1914. Classes started in the second week of January, 1915 as the building was completed and the school functions relocated from the old site at 116 North High Street. The school initially served all primary and secondary grades. In 1947, a new addition including the gymnasium and auditorium was erected. After purchasing an additional acre in 1951 for $485, another addition was built and the lavatories were updated. In 1959, high school students were moved to the new Lakewood High School on Route 40 and the school bell was moved eventually from Hebron School to the Lakewood Football Field.
