History
Greenwood Laboratory School was originally established in 1908 as part of the teacher training curriculum at Springfield Normal School. In 1924, Greenwood Training School, named in honor of the great Missouri educator, J.M. Greenwood, moved into in the new education building, now Hill Hall, on the South campus of then Southwest Missouri Teachers College. The new building, a stately piece of architecture, was now able to house the entire K-12 training school. Greenwood Laboratory School has continued to provide the finest kindergarten through grade twelve college prep education in the area for more than 100 years.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“... all big changes in human history have been arrived at slowly and through many compromises.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“The history of the genesis or the old mythology repeats itself in the experience of every child. He too is a demon or god thrown into a particular chaos, where he strives ever to lead things from disorder into order.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It would be naive to think that peace and justice can be achieved easily. No set of rules or study of history will automatically resolve the problems.... However, with faith and perseverance,... complex problems in the past have been resolved in our search for justice and peace. They can be resolved in the future, provided, of course, that we can think of five new ways to measure the height of a tall building by using a barometer.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
