W.E. Greiner Junior High School

Located at 501 S. Edgefield, the establishment now known as Greiner Middle School began literally on the south edge of a field as a group of plank buildings around 1910. This is the building conceived in 1915 and built sometime after 1932. Only a small part of this building remains today.
More about Greiner’s history.
I was there around 70,71,72 when it was a Jr. High. Clifford C. Breeding was the Principal if I remember correctly.

I was at Greiner Jr. High in 1968. I don’t remember who was Principal at that time. Mr. Breeding was my Principal at L.O. Donald Elementary 1962-1965. I got sick at school one day and he drove me home. I was in awe.
I went to Greiner 1972-73 and played Tuba for Mr. Hyde. Does anyone know how to reach him? Any former Yellow Jacket band members from 72-74 are welcome to call me at 214-808-4081
Greetings,
I would be glad to send you Michael Hyde’s email info. Please email me at raffmorgantcu@yahoo.com
fyi- Mr. Hyde retired from Greiner in the Spring of 2005 (started there in 1967). I followed Mr. Hyde in 2005 until the present. From 1992 until 2010, the yellow jacket band has had 14 UIL sweepstakes awards (earning superior ratings on stage and in sightreading), 1 uil sight reading trophy, 1 uil concert trophy, and only 2 years of not winning anything (one was the year Mike had cancer, the other was my first year at Greiner).
Best wishes,
Ralph Morgan
