We are taking a break from our usual Monday feature to highlight this year's All-School Reunion Picnic and the dedication of the Malcolm Price Laboratory School Commemorative Plaza. What a great turnout for both!

We hope you all had a wonderful time and we thank you for joining us to celebrate the legacy of the lab school and its integral part in the history of the University of Northern Iowa.

We've updated the reunions page with a few photos from this weekend. If you have photos you'd like to share please email them to us at pricelabhistory@gmail.com

Be sure to mark your calendars for next year's picnic: June 24th, 2017.

Hope to see you there!

As an instructor at the lab school from 1965 through 1988, Mrs. Duee impacted the lives of many students who recall her with much fondness. A quick look at her vitae shows just how far beyond the lab school walls her influence was able to reach. From the creation of the Beginning Reading Conference, to numerous curriculum projects, even helping with the teacher’s guide for the PBS show “3, 2, 1, Contact” and more, Joan exemplifies the mission of the lab school and the teaching profession.

As final preparations are made for this year's picnic and the formal dedication of the Malcolm Price Laboratory School Commemorative Plaza, we've chosen to highlight the man who was responsible for overseeing the 1953 move from the lab school's historical home in Sabin Hall to the new school on Campus Street.

You can read more details on the move to 19th and Campus, as well as Dr. Curtis' leading work in teacher education in this week's featured profile.

Modest. Humble. Self-less. These words rise first when one thinks of Paul Brimm, Lab School secondary principal from 1948 to 1964. However, they mask the core: the strong, courageous, and highly respected leader and his career.

For a time the youngest principal in Iowa, then on to spend 15 years as principal of Northern University High School from 1965 to 1980, before he was tapped to mold other administrators in UNI's Department of Educational Administration and Counseling.
