Submitter's notes: While San Francisco High School is part of Lowell High School's history, the name "Lowell" was not used until the 1890s. San Francisco High School's December 14, 1859 class included 13 girls and 27 boys, 11 of whom were graduates. Principle Holmes said it was not lack of scholarship, but students were lost to marriage and the accepting of teaching positions available in grammar schools of the city.
