Highland Mothers Club
Inscription
Founded by Mary K. Lee and the mothers of her Highlands students. They began meeting in their homes, & later at Douglas Blvd. Christian Church, before first local PTAs were organized. They studied and educated each other in new theories of child development. The club continues to support charitable, child welfare, & civic initiatives.
