Look what we found!
In researching Ball High, an unknown and undiscovered picture surfaced. This is the BHS Class of 1905. The original was pretty beat up so the original was taken to our photoshop class. Ms. Hayden put one of her students (Alianna Sierra) on the task and it came out perfect.
Amazing work Alianna, and thank you Mark Kelso for sharing this with us to share with the GISD Community.
