- Classmates for a while -


A large number of people attended Godwin for a while, or even most of their secondary school years, but typically did not graduate because the family moved out of the Godwin area. Those who moved away during their highschool years in particular never really lose the feeling they are part of their class, and for all practical puroses they are.

Below are are graduation photos of some who moved away, the the school they graduated from where known, and the years they attended Godwin.

Gail Root

Barbara Moore



Gail Root attended Godwin from K to 8, then graduated from Rogers HS.

Barbara Moore attended Godwin from K to 9.

Would any student in 2003 even know what a projector is? How about those typing classes? At least it helps one type faster on their PC keyboards, where now one doesn't have to be paranoid about making a mistake now.
