Comments

This was formerly the old Greenbush School. The school operated until at least the 1956-57 school year, when the Freeport Journal-Standard reported that Greenbush fifth grader Jill Raders placed second in the May 1957 Stephenson County Spelling Bee (Journal-Standard 5/7/1957).

A photo of the school as it was in 1918 is archived on the Lena-Winslow school district website:

These photos originated from a 1918-19 Stephenson County school directory. It contained photos of each school, along with the names of teachers and school board members.
