Other Name: Washington, George School; First Ward School (1st Ward School)

Last Address: Cabel and Washington streets

Year Opened: 1903

Year Closed: 1911

The school opened in 1865 as the First Ward School.  Its name was changed in 1903.  The Louisville schools decided to give names to all schools rather than call them by locations such as wards in 1911, so the school was renamed for George Washington.
