"75th Anniversary Museum Project" - Through primary source research and several trips to local museums and archives, the Grade 12 students of Preston High School in Cambridge explored the history of the school and the city. After compiling information on each decade of the schools' existence they created eight 'museum' rooms (one for each decade) and a ninth room to honour Preston's war veterans. Alumni of Preston High School were then invited to visit these museum rooms to experience Preston's legacy and its part in Canadian history.
