Earthworks High School

Earthworks High School was named for the monumental earthen architecture of the central Ohio River Valley. You can read the Founding Proposal, if you can make out the faded ditto machine ink.

Allan Schreiber has donated his extensive collection of Earthworks memorabilia to the Bentley Historical Library, and would welcome anything former students might want to add. He writes, "I am thinking of a restrospective view in which you say whatever you wish about your experience at Earthworks and any influence it has had on you in subsequent years. It could be anecdotal, critical, clinical, humorous, or all of these and more." If you have something to contribute, please get in touch with Allan at allans39@comcast.net.

Allan has also written a Personal History of Earthworks.
