History

The museum is inactive at this time. Due to rapidly expanding enrollment and less rapidly expanding building space, it has become necessary to pack up all of the museum items and assign them to storage. Museum staff can only access its file cabinets, yearbooks, and catalogues at present. It is certain that the museum will eventually re-open.
