📸 Hartford Rewind | Volume 3

Through this weekly series, we'll be sharing a collection of historic photographs from the Hartford Public Schools archives. From classroom activities and athletics to celebrations and everyday moments, these images capture the people and memories that have shaped our district.

Many of these photos have little or no information attached, so we need your help! If you recognize a face, know a date, remember an event, or have a story to share, leave a comment. Together, we can help preserve Hartford's history for future generations.

Here's a look at the past while continuing to build the future.💚
