Avoca High School Alumni

As early as 1795 or 1797, they employed one Anna Parker to teach school by going around from house to house through the sparsely settled country, imparting knowledge to the young as well as she could under the existing circumstances. Her qualifications, except in having good physical powers, and sterling worth as to character, would, at this day, be deemed doubtful for that vocation. Susan Collier was the second teacher, and taught school in part of her father's log house and the dwellings of the inhabitants. Anna Parker and Susan Collier were the only teachers who taught in Avoca until a school-house was built in 1818. This was built of logs and stood on a plot of ground near where the railroad bridge now stands. Mary McKenzie was the first teacher after the erection of the school-house - she taught the summer schools, while one George Cameron was hired to teach the winter terms at eight dollars a month, a price in those days considered high. There was a log school house until 1827.
