It was my pleasure to spend 25 years as Principal of School 8 - 1966-1991.In 1966 it had a student body of more than 1200 students. In 1976 it became the Follow Through Magnet School and enrolled students from all Buffalo neighborhoods. We gained a reputation for our nuturing learning climate. Parents of the student body were hired to work as aides in classrooms. The school is now closed to neighborhood students, but is a transition school for students whose buildings are being renovated. The first School 8 was built in 1838 and was built as the first free school in Buffalo. The current building has unique architecture.
