The majority of the alums of Winter Park High School, Class of 1961, matriculated from Glenridge Junior High School. Some publications from our Glenridge days have surfaced and we have them presented in this section of our web site. We have attempted to preserve the integrity of the images originally created for these publications -- many of these articles, poems and short stories along with the images we do not have the names of the authors.

Glenridge 2003 Exterior Tom Tobin took pictures in January, 2003, of the junior high school we remember. Glenridge Junior High School, Winter Park is history. A new, modern facility -- Glenridge Middle School -- has been built across the street on the 'Orlando' side of Glenridge Way, with classes beginning fall, 2003.
Glenridge 2003 Interior Donna Nichols ('67) Whicker took pictures in September, 2003, of the junior high school we do NOT remember. The move to the new facility across the street had already been made and Donna's photographs capture a tired, worn out shell of a bunch of buildings that we were able to move into, brand new, in March, 1958. Thank goodness we have the old photo's and our memories.
