INSTITUTIONAL HISTORY
The first American school in the state was a private institution, established in San
Francisco in April, 1847. Later the same year, the first public schoolhouse was built in
1847 on the southwest corner of the town plaza, now Portsmouth Square. On Feb. 21,
1848, the first school board was elected, and the school opened on April 3, 1848, led by
Thomas Douglas. The Douglas school charged tuition but was under public auspices
with partial public support. Word of gold soon drew citizens away from San Francisco,
and the school was closed; the building was demolished in 1850. In late 1849, Mr. and
Mrs. John C. Pelton opened a school in the First Baptist Church. By a resolution adopted
by the Common Council, the Peltons’ school became a free public school in April, 1850.
Meanwhile, the Happy Valley School opened in July, 1850, near the corner of Second
and Minna streets. Happy Valley was a private enterprise but free to those who couldn’t
afford it. The following spring, the Spring Valley School opened, also private but free to
those who couldn’t pay.
In 1851, the Common Council passed the first Free School Ordinance which
allowed for the levying of taxes, divided the city into seven school districts, and
established a free public school in each district as well as the annual election of a school
board. The first school board under this organization hired Thomas J. Nevins as
Superintendent of the Free Common Schools of the city. Happy Valley (later named
Denman Grammar) was the first public school to open under this organization,
immediately followed by the Powell Street School and Washington Grammar School.
The following schools were organized in 1852: Rincon School, Spring Valley Grammar
School, Union Grammar School, Mission Grammar School, and Clark’s Point Grammar
School (later named Garfield Primary). A number of private schools also continued to
operate. An 1852 census indicated there were 2,050 school-age children in
San Francisco.
Known first as the Department of Common Schools, the department later became
known as San Francisco Public Schools, the Department of Education, and the San
Francisco Unified School District, its current name. The district is run by a
superintendent hired by the Board of Education, an elected body of policy makers.
In 1853, the State Legislature passed an act making Catholic or “ward” schools
part of the public school system. The act was subsequently repealed in 1855, in an effort
to separate church and state schools. However, ward schools were merged into the city’s
public schools.
The first high school began in 1856 as Union Grammar School with 80 advanced
pupils, both boys and girls. It was declared a permanent high school in January, 1858,
and named San Francisco High School; the first class of 11 students graduated in
December, 1859. The sexes were separated in 1864, with the girls transferring to Girls
High School at the corner of Bush and Stockton streets, and the boys remaining at the
newly-renamed Boys High School on Powell Street. Girls were allowed “to take a

Classical course of study” at Boys High in 1888. The name was changed to Lowell High
School in 1894, a coeducational school.
Evening school was established in 1856 to accommodate youth who worked
during the day. In 1864, the student population included those over 18 years of age.
Other special classes and schools established over the years included the Oral School for
the Deaf (in 1901), conservation of vision classes, Sunshine School (for physically
disabled students), Health School and open air classes, hospital classes, speech correction
classes, and adult English classes. “Part-time school” became known as continuation
school in 1929.
A form of foreign language instruction began as early as 1864 with classical study
in Latin and German offered at Boys High School. In 1878, Superintendent A.L. Mann
said that Spanish-language instruction was more valuable than French or German.
Spanish instruction began in evening classes two years later, and the board passed a
resolution in 1908 allowing for Spanish to be taught in high schools, alongside French
and German.
In addition to foreign language instruction, the U.S. Supreme court ruled (in Lau
v. Nichols, 1974) that the school district must provide bilingual education to non-English-
speaking or limited-English proficient students. However, in 1998, California voters
abolished bilingual education with passage of Proposition 227.
In 1852, the male teachers established the Teachers Institute to improve
knowledge and the art of teaching. The school department ran a Normal School for
teachers, initially consisting of weekly meetings, with the first class graduating in 1861.
Other early professional organizations included the Teachers’ Mutual Aid Society,
organized in 1873, the Principals’ Association of San Francisco (formed in 1888), and
the San Francisco Teachers Club, organized in 1893. As the city grew, the number of
teachers increased, and a number of teachers’ councils were formed. In 1911, the Kate
Kennedy School Women’s Club was organized to further female teachers’ rights
including salary equity. The club was merged with other teachers’ organizations into the
Teachers’ Association of San Francisco in 1917. This organization immediately became
active in municipal and state movements affecting schools, children, and teachers. The
same year, the Classroom Teachers’ Association was also formed. The San Francisco
Federation of Teachers, No. 61, was chartered by the American Federation of Teachers in
1919. In 1989, the SF Federation of Teachers merged with the SF Classroom Teachers
Association, a chapter of the National Education Association, to form the United
Educators of San Francisco.
In 1878, the first free kindergarten west of the Rocky Mountains was established
at 64 Silver Street in San Francisco. Pioneered by Kate Douglas Wiggin, kindergartens
were adopted by the school board in 1880.

The fire following the 1906 earthquake destroyed 31 school buildings. Public
school children and citizens from around the country raised $30,157.15 towards the
construction of a school building. Yerba Buena School was dedicated on May 23, 1909
utilizing these funds. The contents of the cornerstone were revealed during construction
in 1922, and are included in this collection.
Vocational education classes were first offered at Humboldt Evening High School
in 1896. In 1936, the Samuel Gompers Trade School opened its doors, providing
vocational and academic courses, pre-employment courses, and apprenticeship training.
The adult and vocational division was organized in 1945, and transferred to the newly
created Junior College district in 1969.
The school district established San Francisco Junior College (also known as City
College) in 1935, providing both academic and vocational instruction. The main campus
on Phelan Avenue was dedicated in 1940. In 1969, the San Francisco Community
College District was formed, thus separating the college from SFUSD.
The junior high school plan began in California in 1909. In 1913, three grammar
schools, Crocker, Hamilton, and Horace Mann, were designated as intermediate schools,
offering modified schedules and curriculum designed for adolescent children. In 1922,
the same three schools were designated as junior high schools. These usually served
seventh, eighth and ninth grades. Middle schools emerged in 1978, serving sixth through
eighth grades.
Separate schools for “colored” children, established in 1854, were abolished in
1875. The first school for Chinese children was started in 1859. An act of the State
Legislature in 1860 excluded Negroes, Mongolians, and American Indians from public
schools, however, the penalty for admitting them was eliminated in 1864. By 1871, the
Chinese school was closed and Chinese students were excluded from public schools.
African American and Chinese American parents fought for inclusion in their
neighborhood schools, bringing matters to the Supreme Court of California. In the case
of Mary Frances Ward, the court pronounced in 1874 that separate was equal; however, if
separate schools didn’t exist, colored children could enter white schools. In the 1885
case of Mamie Tape, a Chinese American student, the court ruled that the school district
must provide an education. In response, the district immediately established the
segregated Chinese Primary School, preventing Tape from attending Spring Valley
School. Chinese students were allowed to attend neighborhood schools by the late
1920s, although racial segregation would not be repealed from the state’s Education
Code until 1947, and geographic segregation would continue.
By the end of the nineteenth century, larger numbers of Japanese children were
attending the city’s public schools, presenting the “Japanese question.” Following the
earthquake and fire of 1906, the school department renamed the Chinese Primary School
as the Oriental Public School, and directed all Chinese, Japanese, and Korean children to
the school. This set an international crisis in motion, with President Theodore Roosevelt

intervening. The segregation order against Japanese students only was lifted in 1907, and
the federal government promised to restrict Japanese immigration, leading to the
Gentlemen’s Agreement of 1908 with Japan.
In 1954, the Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, KS lawsuit outlawed
separate-but-equal schools. Efforts to end de facto segregation in San Francisco
included the start of busing in 1971. In 1978, African Americans sought to desegregate
the district and improve the quality of education in San Francisco NAACP v. SFUSD.
The resulting consent decree, approved in 1983, mandated the desegregation of all
schools, programs, and classrooms, and stated that no school could have more than 40
percent of one ethnicity. Reconstitution, or the practice of bringing in new staff at low-
performing schools, was promoted to improve academic achievement. In 1987, the racial
cap was raised to 45%. In 1999, a group of Chinese parents successfully challenged the
school district in a lawsuit over the racial cap (in Ho v. SFUSD), ending the use of race in
assigning students. As a result, in 2002, the district instituted a “diversity index” which
assigned students based on socio-economic factors. After two years under the diversity
index, parents continued to be dissatisfied with having their children placed in cross-town
schools.

SCOPE AND CONTENT
This collection documents the San Francisco Unified School District’s history
through materials collected by the Teachers Professional Library beginning in 1854, the
fourth year of the Department of Common Schools as it was then known. While there are
materials from the early years of the district, the bulk of the collection is from 1874 to
1978. Major areas include administrative documents, curriculum titles, reports produced
by the school district, and newspaper clippings. Materials include administrative
circulars, photographs, scrapbooks, books, pamphlets, newsletters, district directories,
handbooks, budget documents, salary surveys and schedules, maps, and newspaper
articles. Yearbooks have been transferred to the library’s book collection and can be
located through the online catalog. Some of the oldest materials are circulars from the
superintendent to staff (1874-1929), an 1867 diploma for a member of the first class of
Union Grammar School, an 1879 diploma for a member of the first class of Rincon
Grammar School, pamphlets on education (known as “Scraps,” 1854-1924, in Reports
and Publications), courses of study (1876-1915, in Curriculum Titles), and an 1884-1885
class register. The most recent items are a graduation program, yearbook, and class
photograph from the last graduating class of Benjamin Franklin Middle School in 2005.
The circulars, annual reports, weekly and monthly bulletins, board rules and
administrative regulations, and reports and publications provide a variety of information
documenting the school district’s history, issues, and policies from 1862 to 1980. Annual
reports, weekly bulletins, and board rules and regulations were transferred to the library’s
book collection; see Appendix B. There are extensive newspaper clippings from 1906-
1986, as well as a good number of curriculum titles from 1876-1979 (bulk 1927-1978).
The earliest budget documents are from 1907. The collection includes the contents of
cornerstones for Bay View School, laid March 8, 1908, and Yerba Buena School, laid
May 23, 1909. Also included is Emmy Lou Packard’s artwork for a third grade social
studies series (in Curriculum Titles). Photographs mainly cover the years 1930 to 1977.
Major subjects include integration, buildings and grounds, counseling and
guidance, disadvantaged groups, finances, rules and regulations, salaries, and vocational
education. A few audio/visual materials are included (in the Curriculum Titles sub-
series). A list of superintendents with years of employment is in Appendix C.
Board meeting minutes are not included other than items from minutes from 1927
to 1928. (The school district maintains board meeting minutes from 1908 to present.)
The collection does not include building blueprints, personnel records, or student records.
ARRANGEMENT NOTE
The material has been arranged into nine series: Board of Education,
Administration, Staff, Schools, Instructional Materials, Reports and Publications, Press
Clippings, Photographs, and Parent-Teacher Association. Within some series are a

Annual reports on the department’s financial condition and accomplishments
were submitted by the Superintendent to the Board. These bound volumes, from
1862 to 1937 and 1956 to 1967, have the call number 379.794 Sa52r. The 1862
report includes a school census, a school list, finances, teacher salaries,
attendance, a list of graduates, and recommendations. The 1864 report has
remarks on separation of the sexes, opposed by the superintendent, and bible
instruction, supported by the superintendent. (Separate high schools for boys and
girls were instituted that year.) Annual reports also include courses of study,
examinations, property acquisitions, erection of new buildings, lists of teachers,
principals and Board members, speeches, historical sketches, and lists of where
teachers trained and their certification dates.
Beginning in 1930, the superintendent’s office published weekly bulletins on
professional subjects for teachers and department heads. The bulletins are bound
into volumes by school year. The San Francisco Public Schools Bulletin, also
known as Superintendent’s Bulletin, was continued in 1967 by the San Francisco
Unified School District Newsletter, also known as the District Newsletter. The
weekly bulletins and newsletters (95 volumes removed to the book collection)
cover the years, 1930 to 1977, and have the call number 379.794 Sa52sa v.1-37
and 39-48. See the Photographs series for photographs from these publications.
Part 1: Circulars and Bulletins, 1874-1957 (bulk 1874-1929)
7.6 cubic feet
Arranged chronologically.
Superintendents’ circulars of memoranda (mostly printed) to staff include
circulars issued by the Board. These are glued into scrapbooks, with a
few duplicates in folders. Due to the fragility as well as format of the
scrapbooks, some of these items may not be photocopied. Sample topics
include rules and regulations, annual examinations, courses of study,
supplies, vaccinations, holidays, lectures, and an essay contest offered by
the Womens Christian Temperance Union on “Twin Evils, Intemperance
and Tobacco,” with cash prizes (July 20, 1881, circular no. 68). These
scrapbooks are a good source of documents issued from 1874 to 1929.
Circulars were later known as Bulletins.
Board circulars cover policies such as participation in censuses and school
closures. Board memoranda on staff assignments are also found here. A
May 13, 1896 circular instructs staff that “it is the desire of the Board of
Education that Chinese and Japanese be not employed in or about the
school buildings.”

is included. Topics included the Community Chest, immigrant education,
junior colleges, and handwriting instruction.
Part 3: Special Reports, 1942-1970
.67 cu ft.

directories refer to administration only, except for the 1994 directory which
includes schools.
Sub-series E: Files, 1884-[2002]
.6 cubic foot
Arranged chronologically.
There are only a few administrative files. These include organization charts and
administrative organization reports. Of note is an 1884-1885 class register which
lists students’ grades. Another unusual item is a 1906-1907 “day-book,” or
inventory, of supplies appropriated to individual schools and departments
following the earthquake. Included is a 20th
century block book with locations of
School District properties.
SERIES 3: STAFF, 1890-1979 (bulk 1940-1960)
4.5 cubic feet

Sub-series E: Salaries, 1881-1978
1.75 cubic feet
Arranged chronologically, with salary schedules followed by salary studies.
This sub-series includes salary schedules for 1881 and 1908 to 1977; and salary
studies from 1928 to 1962. Salary schedules, which listed pay for teachers and
administrators, were sometimes also published in the city’s Municipal Reports
and superintendent’s annual reports. The salary studies include petitions for
adjustments by teachers’ organizations.
SERIES 4. SCHOOLS, 1867-2005 (bulk 1970-1985)
8.5 cubic feet
Arranged by school level (elementary, middle, and high), then alphabetically by school
name within each section. Schools named for individuals are listed as follows: First—
(Middle)—Last name, and filed by Last name. (E.g., George Washington Carver, filed
under Carver.)
This series contains files of individual elementary/grammar/primary schools,
middle/intermediate/junior high schools, and high schools. Included are school profiles,
faculty and student handbooks, graduation certificates, commencement programs, press
clippings, contents of two cornerstones (Bay View School, 1908, and Yerba Buena
School, 1909, removed in 1922), student body meeting minutes, student publications,
flyers, and newsletters covering the planning of new schools and renaming of schools.
Some interesting items are early graduation certificates (Union Grammar School, 1867,
and Rincon Grammar School, 1879); an 1884 commencement program (Boys High
School); a 1905 graduation certificate (Burnett Grammar School); a class register from
1904 to 1908 (John Swett Grammar School); a 1923 pamphlet on the history of San
Francisco public schools written by an eighth grade civics class (Crocker Junior High);

SERIES 5. INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS, 1876-1983, (bulk 1927-1978)
18.5 cubic feet
Arranged into four sub-series: Curriculum Titles, Curriculum Reports, Curriculum
Newsletters, and Teachers Professional Library.
This series contains materials most of which were published by the school district’s
Division of Instructional Materials between 1924 and 1978. Formerly known as the
Bureau of Instructional Materials, the department was later named Curriculum,
Instruction and Professional Development, and is currently called the Chief Academic
Office. The series is comprised of courses of study (beginning in 1876), later known as
curriculum bulletins, and curriculum titles, which make up the bulk of the series;
published studies on the curriculum; newsletters; and Teachers Professional Library
guides. The Curriculum Titles sub-series includes bulletins for adult courses and the
mentally retarded, and a study of San Francisco for third graders which includes booklets
and filmstrips as well as artwork by artist, Emmy Lou Packard, for the booklets.
Curriculum Reports documents curriculum development and revision beginning in 1935.
The Teachers’ Professional Library sub-series has a 1902 catalog of library books.
In the 1920s, formulation of the Seven Cardinal Principles of Education led to an
examination of subject matter. A 1925 revision notably included curriculum for junior
high school students. Curriculum revision was undertaken again in 1943, 1960, and
1978.

SERIES 6. REPORTS AND PUBLICATIONS, 1854-1998 (bulk 1942-1976)
15 cubic feet
Arranged alphabetically by topic, then chronologically.
This series contains reports and publications mostly published by the school district, and
some dissertations. Considerable focus is given to the topics of integration (1962-1976),
vocational/occupational education (1913-1974), buildings and grounds (1902-1982),
counseling and guidance (1941-1973), and disadvantaged groups (1917-1996). Other
topics include athletics (1948-1965), bilingual education (1968-1982), and San Francisco
schools. Research bulletins produced from 1930-1957 largely cover testing and
evaluation of achievement. Also included is a set of “Scraps,” bound volumes of early
education-related pamphlets (mostly 1860s-1870s).
SERIES 7. PRESS CLIPPINGS, 1906-1999 (bulk 1906-1986)
131 volumes (18 cubic feet and 32 linear feet) plus .6 cubic feet
Arranged chronologically, with scrapbooks followed by folders.
This series consists largely of oversized scrapbooks of newspaper clippings on the school
district, board, and schools. A few have a particular focus. For example, two 1906-1907
volumes largely cover the “Japanese Question,” or exclusion of people of “Mongolian”
birth from California and the schools. Another 1906 volume focuses on school
reconstruction after the earthquake and fire. (In this scrapbook, news clips are pasted
into an 1895 ledger belonging to a Thomas Larkin.) There are also two volumes on the
1912 recall of Berkeley Superintendent of Schools, Frank F. Bunker, and one on the
California Teachers Association. Another scrapbook, likely created by a parent, covers
(Mission) high school football and Navy Operating Base football. Due to the size and
format of the scrapbooks, these items may not be photocopied. Additionally, some
magazine and newspaper clippings are in folders, organized alphabetically by subject,
then chronologically. These loose clippings focus on board members in the 1980s, and
individual superintendents of the 1970s through the 1990s.
SERIES 8. PHOTOGRAPHS, 1891-2005 (bulk 1930-1977)
6 cubic feet
Arranged into three subseries: Biographical, Schools, and Publications.
This series contains photographs and negatives collected by the publications division.
The bulk of the collection is black-and-white photos, however, some color pictures are
included. A list of negatives is found in Appendix E. A few damaged negatives and
unfixed proofs were digitally copied and then removed. Photos and negatives were
separated from the collection and are housed with the San Francisco Historical
Photograph Collection. Researchers may request them during Photo Desk hours:
Tuesdays and Thursdays, 1:00 to 5:00 pm; and Saturdays, 10:00 am to 12 noon and 1:00
to 5:00 pm. Also, many images are available online at www.sfpl.org.
