History
Garber High School opened for classes in the fall of 1964 and was
dedicated in 1965. The school was built on farm property acquired
from the Garber family. The Garber farm was founded by John and
Melissa Garber in the 1800’s. The farm was passed on to Otto Garber
and his wife Mabel. In addition to farming, Otto Garber was a
president in the village of Essexville. Garber sold the land to the
district in the early 1960’s.
Garber has five computer labs designed for a variety of
applications from computer assisted drafting and design to
accounting. The building also features a state of the art
technology hall with a rear projection screen. As with other
buildings in the district, Garber added technology to all
classrooms and the media center with the passage of the bond issue
in 1997. Students use the latest hardware and software to meet
curriculum objectives.
