    3. Hi Pat... In the area of Haight and/or Belvedere, the most likely all girls school would have been Presentation High (or "Prez" as we called it) on the corner of Turk & Masonic. The next closest to that area would have been St. Vincent's High which was on the corner of Geary & Gough (site of the current St. Mary's Cathedral). I know that the University of San Francisco bought the Presentation building in the early 1990s so I'm not sure where their records would be located. St. Vincent's High was torn down in 1966 & a new school was built a block away (Cathedral High) so that would be the likely place to search for records from that school. As I understand it, both of these schools were operational in the years you mentioned. Best of luck... Linda My mother attended grade school in San Francisco in the late 1890's and early 1900's. The family lived on either Haight Street or on Belvedere. I also understand that she attended an all girls Catholic High School. I'm wondering how I can locate these schools and does any one know if those records still exist, for those that attended. I have some pictures in grade school but none when she would have attended high school. She would have graduated from high school about 1916 or 1917. Thank you Pat
