Pembroke Dock Grammar School, which became Pembroke Grammar School in 1955, had a long and fascinating history.
Now, a website has been set up for ex-pupils and staff of the schools to remember and celebrate the years they spent there.
The site at http://www.thepenvro.com">www.thepenvro.com aims to present and preserve the story of the school and to honour the memory of staff and pupils from its foundation until 1972 when comprehensive education finally arrived in Pembrokeshire.
The site takes its name from The Penvro, one of the earliest recorded grammar school magazines in Wales. The magazines themselves are rich in historical information and photographs, and the old pupil association sections within their pages detail the lives and careers of countless ex-pupils - even covering announcements of engagements, births, marriages and deaths!
The Penvro team decided to search out and copy as many of these magazines as possible, to ensure that they are never lost and can be made available to anyone, wherever they are in the world.
Thirty-five Penvros are currently on display, with at least a dozen more in the processing pipeline - dating from 1926 to the early 1970s.
Author - and ex-pupil - Phil Carradice has written a brief history of the school and many people have already sent in personal memories of their school-days, as well as tributes to the school and members of staff.
There are detailed accounts of some of the remarkable extra-mural activities undertaken by staff and pupils at the school, including their involvement in the provision of holidays for refugee children by many families in the borough in the late '50s and early '60s.
There is also a history of the internationally minded Pembroke Conferences, which brought young people from all over the world to the school for many years.
There is a large and growing collection of photographs on the site, including those taken of the whole school, team-sports and cultural events, as well as many more informal snaps sent in by ex-pupils.
In addition, there is a large photographic collection of school activities, which were taken by Welsh teacher Islwyn Griffiths in the year 1960.
Another 'personal collection' of photographs has been promised for the near future, and a number of associations have offered their support and their growing list of links make regular visits to the site even more fascinating - even for those who didn't attend the school.
An ex-pupils society, The New Penvro Association, is in the process of being set-up, and full details will be put on the website in the near future.
It's no wonder then that, even before being officially announced in the media, the site has attracted over 1,500 visits in its first formative weeks. It can all be viewed at http://www.thepenvro.com">www.thepenvro.com.
