In September of 1924, Mishawaka High School opened its doors to students for the first time. Since then, over 30,000 graduates have walked across that stage and obtained their diplomas.  

In this episode, I meet with the president and curator of the Mishawaka Historical Museum, Pete DeKever, and we talk 100 years of Mishawaka High School. 

Learn about its history from the selection of the top notch architects to the cornerstone laying ceremony, to famous alumni, to shenanigans in The Cave. You’ll definitely learn about a Mishawaka institution that has been the heart and soul of the Mishawaka community for a century.
