Description |
Thomas W. Harvey (1821-1892) was an accomplished Ohio educator who is best remembered for his contributions to textbooks during the mid-to-late nineteenth century. After graduating from the Western Reserve Teachers' Seminary in Kirtland, Ohio, in 1844, Harvey established Geauga High School in Chardon, Ohio. In 1848, he accepted a position as principal of a private academy at Republic, Ohio, and in 1851, he became superintendent of Massillon schools, a position he held for fourteen years before becoming the superintendent of Painesville's schools. In 1871, Governor Rutherford B. Hayes appointed Harvey as the Ohio State Commissioner of Public Schools. Harvey held this position for the next three years. Upon completion of his term, he returned to Painesville and assumed his position as superintendent. During his career, Harvey also helped establish the Ohio State Teachers' Association and the Northeastern Ohio Teachers' Association. |
