Mission Primary School- Historical Sketch- 1879-80, From the SF Muni Report Up to July 1876, the Mission Grammar School occupied the two buildings in the school lot on Mission street, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets. The school grew too large to be properly managed by one principal, and in the month named the Board of Education passed a resolution declaring the rear building with the classes therein a primary school, to be known as the "Mission Primary School." It is a mixed school for boys and girls, and numbers seven hundred and sixty-six pupils. Mrs. M. H. WALKER, the present Principal, was placed in charge of the school at its organization. ------------------------- Carolyn
