- or Both! German Shepherd Dogs are the chameleons of the dog world. We see them on the news sniffing out contraband, as GSDs are a favorite breed of police K9 units, and their deep bark makes them a great four-legged, home security system. But to Nikki Fox of Livingston, Montana, her German Shepherd, Klaus, is just another member of the family - a furry one.
Morgan Baden April 23rd, 2014. In 1635, a handful of students first met in the private home of a headmaster in the fledgling city of Boston to form Boston Latin school. It was the very first public school opened in America, and today it marks its 369th birthday. (Pretty cool that it shares a birthday with Shakespeare!) Boston Latin's doors are still open, serving about 2,400 students.
The first American schools in the thirteen original colonies opened in the 17th century. Boston Latin School was founded in 1635 and is both the first public school and oldest existing school in the United States. The first tax-supported public school was in Dedham, Massachusetts, and was run by Rev. Ralph Wheelock.
