This Tablet is Dedicated in Grateful Acknowledgment to Miss Cordelia P. Monnett Monnett School for Girls In 1908 Miss Cordelia P. Monnett bequeathed to the deaconesses of the Trinity Methodist Church of Rensselaer, Indiana property to be used for a girls school, and for two years it was to be used as such. In 1910 the board of trustees changed the school to a boarding school, with instruction through the 8th grade. In 1913 and again in 1925 additional wings were added to the frame structure. In 1925 a brick dormitory was constructed, now being used for school administrative purposes. In 1942 the school was separated from the church influence and became a nonsectarian school owned and operated by a board of trustees, and was accredited through the 8th grade. In June 1954 the school closed its doors as the type of student was taken over by the state and welfare programs and the classification for which the school was created was thus terminated. The trustees sold the property in July 1954 to the city and the city deeded it to the Rensselaer Public Schools in April 1955. They then erected "The Monnett Public Grade School" with five class rooms and opened the building for use in September 1957.
