Venice High School Bell

A resolution adopted at a regular meeting on July 3, 1916 called for building a new high school on Broadway and 7th Street. The school bell was originally situated in the school tower. The class of 1960 raised funds to purchase bricks to build the columns holding the bell, and the bell was relocated to the side of the high school on 7th Street. At a regular Board meeting on September 18, 2008, a resolution was adopted to place the bell next to the building on 300 South Forth Street, and a ceremony was held on April 19, 2009 to dedicate the bell.
