Since the first classroom in 1837, taught by
Mrs. Martha Conklin, wife of Thomas Conklin, the
education of the youth of Hartford has been an important factor of our
community. The first school house was constructed of logs in the
southwest part of the township. There were 5 pupils in attendance and the school
was taught by Olive Poole, who received a salary of $1.25 per
week.
In July, 1854, District #5 in the village was organized and school was
conducted in the home of Harvey Tomblin. Andoinette Stoughten was
the teacher for District #5. Two years later, in 1857, the
first school house in the village was erected by William Shepard on the
lot where the old Catholic Church now stands.
The first graduating class of 1883 consisted of
one student, Dr. Eugene Ruggles and one teacher.
In 2002, our public school system is the largest single employer in the community
of Hartford. Hartford alumni often return home as
teachers, with a large number of the support staff comprised of Hartford
residents. Senior citizens (many were also Hartford alumni) enjoy
working at the schools as tutors and mentors, bridging
the path to future generations. School buildings, grounds, and
athletic fields are well maintained and remain among the finest
around. The athletic facilities and equipment are
top-notch.
