Wright High School located at 1361 Huffman Ave in east Dayton, Ohio opened its
doors as a
high school
in 1940. The school
was named after one of the famed
Wright Brothers who were also products of the Dayton School
System. Until 1982, when it became a Junior High School,
its students were challenged
intellectually and provided a moral compass that established a
strong foundation for future successes in all walks of life.
The Class of 1956 was one of those
classes with its own
unique contributions that built on past school traditions. Whether
through academic achievements, social responsibilities,
sportsmanship, or just social activities each class member made a
difference both within the school environment as well as the community
at large.
That sense of success, starting as
an acorn during those formative school years, continues today as we the
students of yesterday continue to make a difference within our families,
our local communities, and our country. We also remain committed to the
friendships cultivated at Wilbur Wright which have endured a lifetime.
The school's principal, Jay William
Holmes, best summed up the school's philosophy during graduation ceremonies:
