[edit] History

The first school in Madison began classes in 1838[citation needed] in a room of the home of Issac H. Palmer with schoolteacher Louisa Brayton. The school district was recognized by the territorial government in December 1841.

Following the incorporation of the city of Madison in 1856, a board of education was organized and the first superintendent was chosen: Damon Kilgore, a teacher that began teaching in Madison in 1854[1].
