Product Description
"Tapestry-Zephyrhills, An Anthology of Its History Through Education," is a collection of news coverage of formal education in Zephyrhills, Florida. The reader will see history through the eyes of ordinary students experiencing the regional and national historical events that shaped their lives, as well as the rites of passage of growing up in the ambiance of a small Florida town. Over the years, the town and its schools adjust to and reflect advances in technology, societal changes and dramatic growth. You will come to know the local families and laugh with them at their joys and feel the pain of tragic losses. You will experience the town's pride in their local celebrities. Commemorating the 100th anniversary of Zephyrhills High School, which served as a cultural compass and center for local events and issues, the book provides highlights and news summaries from every year. Decade summaries for 1910 to 2010 highlight changes and movements as well as their impact on the community. The book chronicles the community's evolution and tells its history from the vantage point of education.

 Small town history October 15, 2008
Mrs. Wise captures small town education with a flourish! She covers all the aspects from buildings to vibrant personalities all the way from 100 years ago. If you are a history buff or want to know a main street that changed its educational goals over 100 years... this book is for you. She used a narrative and many photographs to capture the changes over time past and present. I am proud of my former teacher!

As a student graduating Zephyrhills High School in 1977, I truly enjoyed this trip down memory lane. Mrs. Wise, our beloved teacher now turned author, has painstakingly delivered a pictorial and written account of 100 years of community struggle, change and growth. This is a must have for anyone that ever walked the halls of ZHS, anyone that ever went to school in Small-town U.S.A., or anyone that ever wanted to go to school in Small-town U.S.A. What a treasure (the book and Mrs. Wise)!!!!!
