High Street Grammar School

 

In 1896, the brothers Mr. W. A. Fullerton, B.A. and Mr. J. A. Fullerton,B.A. (assisted shortly afterwards by Mr. T. Kirkpatrick, B.A.) opened the Ballymena High School in High Street. Enrolment very quickly outstripped the premises. When Mr. King died in 1900, the Govenors of the Academy offered the vacant post of Headmaster to Mr. W. A.Fullerton, B.A.

He closed the High School and transferred his pupils to the Academy. All three of these gentlemen served the Academy until they retired morethan thirty years later.

 

Membership of the Ballymena Academy Past Pupils Association is open to former Pupils and Staff of the Academy and High Street Grammar, there will hardly be too many of the later still active members.
