Overview The Kinkaid School Archives contain the historical materials of The Kinkaid School including some of the earliest records of founder Margaret H. Kinkaid, as well as yearbooks, scrapbooks, newspapers and photographic materials. The archives became the repository of the school in 2005 when a committee of school faculty, staff, and volunteers began collecting and organizing the materials. Located in the Moran Library, the archive has since grown to encompass a comprehensive collection of faculty manuscripts, school administrative records, athletics records, architectural plans, early student records, present-day digital records, and some of the earliest class photos. The archives are accessible to the general public. History The School House The Kinkaid School was founded in 1906 by Margaret Hunter Kinkaid. When the school was first established, it was located in the dining room of Kinkaid's House, which was located at the intersection of Elgin and San Jacinto in what is now Midtown Houston. The Richmond Campus The school's second location was at the intersection of Richmond and Graustark in the Neartown neighborhood. The school moved to this location in the fall of 1924. The school had its first Open House that year to celebrate the new facility. This tradition continues today. Kinkaid also added its upper school program beginning in the late 1920s. After more than thirty years, the school eventually outgrew its campus and relocated to the present day location. Piney Point Village Campus Since 1957, the school has been situated on a site in the city of Piney Point Village, an enclave of Houston, at the junction of 201 Kinkaid School Drive and San Felipe.
