Thomas Edison
Our school has been named after arguably the world's greatest inventor, Thomas Alva Edison. Thomas Edison was born February 11, 1847 in Milan, Ohio. Thomas Edison was an American inventor and businessman. He developed many devices that greatly influenced life around the world, including the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and a long-lasting, practical electric light bulb. Dubbed "The Wizard of Menlo Park", he was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of mass production and large-scale teamwork to the process of invention, and because of that, he is often credited with the creation of the first industrial research laboratory.
