Thornton-Donovan is Westchester’s only “Little Red Schoolhouse.” Thornton-Donovan School was founded in 1901 as The New Rochelle School and Kindergarten by Judge Martin Jerome Keogh. Emily Scott Thornton, a graduate of the University of Nottingham, UK became one of the schools first teachers. Cleophe Donovan joined the school in 1904 to teach the incoming youngsters, while Ms. Thornton was teaching the older children. In recognition of their commitment to their vision and years of dedicated service, the school was renamed in their honor: Thornton-Donovan School.
