Glenwood, Alamo and Wheeler Co. H.S.

Trying to sort out some dates. From what I've read, Glenwood H.S. consolidated with Alamo H.S. in 1962. The first graduating class of Wheeler Co. H.S. was 1965. Did they just change the name of Alamo H.S. to Wheeler Co. in 1964? Was AHS the only high school in Wheeler Co. beyween 62 & 64? Are my dates all wrong? I'm confused.

Let me see if either of my two brothers, Ted and Greg McDaniel, can help. Ted, I believe, graduated from Glenwood High in '62 and Greg went to Mt. Vernon to graduate in '67. I was back in '56, sister Janice in '54. We all loved Glenwood High School and had some of the best teachers that helped all of us and gave us (not known at the time) a great jump start of the world to follow. Some of those teachers I was directly under were Ms. Reynolds, Mrs. Grimes, Mrs. Babb, Mrs. Hendrix, Ms. Joiner, Mrs. Futral, Mrs. Browning, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Stephens, Mrs. McGregor, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Hill, Mr. Aligood, Mrs. Blue, Mr. Kent and a few others associated with other classes that I can't recall just now.

I think the class of '63 would have been the last year of the Glenwood HS. I started 9th grade in '63 at Montgomery County High School which was the first year of consolidation. About half of the Glenwood students went to the consolidated school in Alamo and the other half went to MCHS.

Okay, that would imply in June 1963 last graduating class and in September 1963 your option of going into the 9th grade did not exist at Glenwood.

How is it you had the option of going to MCHS instead of WCHS, and how did you get to Mt. Vernon daily for those 4 years? I can't see buses from Wheeler county taking students into another county.
