In Their Own Words: Voices of Arlington Education

The history of education in Arlington can be told through the experiences of the people who shaped its schools.

This oral history project was created as part of an Eagle Scout project by Arlington student Chris Park, in partnership with the Arlington Historical Society. The interviews are now part of the Arlington Historical Society’s permanent exhibit on the history of Arlington Public schools.

Each interview preserves personal reflections on teaching, leadership, challenges, and change within the school system. Together, these recordings help document how education in Arlington has evolved over time.

We invite you to explore the interviews below and learn from the voices that continue to shape Arlington’s schools.
