The Taber Museum celebrated the legacy of the West Branch School, which flourished from 1971 until its closure in 2022, in a Spring 2024 exhibit.
The exhibit included student-produced banners, photographs and photograph albums, tee shirts, plaques, DVDs, broadsides (posters), yearbooks, and costumes from several of the student theatrical productions. The archival materials of the school are now permanently housed at the Taber Museum.
A reception to view the exhibit held on Friday, May 3, drew over 140 alumni, former teachers, and parents of alumni. The reception gave everyone the chance to look at the exhibits and to reminisce with others about their experiences at the school.
Organized in 1971, the school was founded by a group of parents concerned about their children’s education. The school mission envisioned a “developmental, functional child-centered educational program”. The school now boasts graduates in all corners of the globe who have made their impact felt on the cultural and professional fabric of the world.
