Our History
Alexander Fleming was a doctor and biologist who discovered penicillin and received the Nobel Prize in 1945.
Robert L. Grimes was a principal at Nathan Hale Elementary School, which at one time had a building where Midway Airport currently is. Grimes Elementary was originally built as an overflow school for Hale Elementary and thus named in honor of principal Robert L. Grimes.
