Dewitty and The Cooper School
Dewitty is most strongly associated with the Frank B. Cooper School. When the old Cooper school was given city landmark status, the fact that it was where Dewitty first taught in Seattle was one of the major reasons cited to give it that status. Similarly, the discussion of the school on the National Park Service page about the school as a site on the National Register of Historic Places is largely about Dewitty.
The old school building is now the Youngstown Cultural Arts Center and houses the Thelma Dewitty Theater.

“Sure, you can love your child when he or she has just brought home a report card with straight “A’s.” It’s a lot harder, though, to show the same love when teachers call you from school to tell you that your child hasn’t handed in any homework since the beginning of the term.”
