| The first school in Fort Thomas dates back to c. 1832. Called the Mt. Pleasant School, it was a log cabin near what is now the intersection of Holly Lane and N. Ft. Thomas Avenue. Also known as the Old Buckeye School, it was used as a church on Sundays. The Baptists and Methodists alternated Sundays. |
