New Rochelle High School was originally located on North Avenue near 5th Avenue, currently 515 North Avenue, the site of City Hall. This building was completed in 1906 and was designed by the architect Edgar Josselyn. It remained the High School until it moved to its current location in 1926 on North Avenue near Eastchester Road. This new building was designed by the architectural firm of Guilbert and Betelle on the property that was once occupied by the Mahlstead Ice Business.
Scope of Collection
The yearbooks in this collection span the period of 1914 to the present and provide an annual description of athletic, cultural, social and other student organizations' activities at the New Rochelle High School. Photographs of faculty and staff, students; particularly the graduating Seniors, and to a lesser extent the Junior and Sophomore classes and their activities are documented within these volumes. The first annuals, 1914-1922 were called the Fleur- de-Lis, and in 1923 the yearbook was renamed The Rochellean.
The digitization of the New Rochelle High School Yearbooks is a collaborative project between the New Rochelle Public Library and New Rochelle High School. Student volunteers helped scan the yearbooks, making this project possible.
