Third-grade class at St. John School

The third-grade boys’ class from the former St. John the Evangelist School in Indianapolis appears in this Oct. 18, 1895, photo. St. John the Evangelist Parish had separate schools for boys and girls at different times in its history. The school for boys was staffed by Sacred Heart brothers until 1929, when it was taken over by the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, who staffed the girls’ school. The grade school, which ultimately became a single coeducational institution, closed in 1959.
