Kitsap County Retired Teachers - Local History,
Education
The 500+page book The Way It Was in Kitsap Schools:
Memoirs of School Days in Kitsap County (1977) is a collective effort by
Kitsap's Teachers Association to record and preserve the memory of the
local school system as it developed from the 1850s onward. The project,
encompassing all of Kitsap County, involved many contributors and hundreds of
hours of interviews and research. Numerous photographs of schoolhouses,
teachers, and students, enrich the stories. The book is available through the
Bainbridge Public Library local authors collection.
