Annetta Collins and Student - Todd School

Description

An integral part of the campus, Annetta Collins was in charge of Kitchen Services and was house mother to the younger students. Many of the photographs in the Woodstock Public Library's Todd School archives are from her personal collection.

The Todd School for Boys (1848–1954) was an independent school located in Woodstock, Illinois founded by Reverend Richard Kimball Todd, a Presbyterian pastor. Under the guidance of Headmaster Noble Hill in the 1920s and Hill’s son Roger in the 1930s, it became known as a progressive school that provided students with a creative educational environment that emphasized practical experience over traditional academics. The main Todd School Campus was located on the northeast corner of the Rt. 47 (Seminary Ave) and Rt. 120 (McHenry Ave.) junction.
