Make Higley Historic!: Higley Elementary 8th Grade Class 1956

Honk if You Love Higley!

Welcome to the the Make Higley Historic! blogspot! Your definitive source of Higley happenings - past, present and future.

Anyone who knows Higley is aware that its boundaries and residents have been quite elusive the last 100 years. This page has been created to bring together fellow Higleans, Gilbillies, San Tan-ites, travelers and friends who all have something to say about the history of this unique place.

Higley needs your voice! If you are interested in authoring posts for this community blog, we'd love to hear from you and the site administrator will get you set up.

Please feel free to email any photos you would like to share to makehigleyhistoric@gmail.com and we will add them to the page. And if you know of any older folks who may not be technologically savvy or speak only Spanish, let us know and we can arrange an interview so their stories are recorded as well.

We look forward to hearing from many and hope you all check in weekly for updates and new posts about our history and our efforts for recognition. Thank you kindly for all of your support in making Higley's historic value known!

Higley Elementary 8th Grade Class 1956

Thank you Larry Power for this great photo of Higley's 8th grade graduating class from Higley Elementary in 1956. All but one person is accounted for but maybe another friendly historian can help fill in the blank...........

Have a great day and thanks again for your interest in making Higley historic!
