A second grade class at Holyoke Elementary School is pictured with teachers Margaret Cooper and Catherine Flanagan in the mid-to-late 1950s. Flanagan taught school in the area for many years, starting in a one-room country school at age 16. To earn her teaching degree, she took correspondence classes in addition to classes in Greeley. She taught second grade for many years at Holyoke Elementary School and served as the principal for two. After retiring from the Holyoke School District in 1960, she taught at a Catholic school in Sidney, Nebraska, for a couple of years. She was a charter member of the Holyoke Business and Professional Women’s Club, actively participated in the local Girl Scout program for many years and was a long-time member of the Holyoke Library Board. — Source: Phillips County Museum
