“FATHER OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS IS GONE
James Denman, the Educator and Reformer, Dies of Old Age
James Denman, often referred to as the father of San Francisco's public schools, died yesterday in his home at 3808 Clay street of old age. Born in New York, April 14. 1829. he received his education in that state, being graduated from the state normal school in 1849. He came, to California via"' the isthmus in 1851 and immediately organized the first free school in, San Francisco under an act of the legislature of that year. The school was subsequently named for him.
For many years James Denman' was superintendent of schools, and under his administration the boys' and girls' high school, the Valencia, Hayes valley,, Clement and Lincoln grammar schools and the Columbia and Kighth street schools were, organized. It was while he wus superintendent of schools that he defeated the attempt of < squatters to take from the school- board, the Lincoln school lot at Market and Fifth streets, next to the Emporium, thus paving the city more , than a million dollars. The buildings which were elected on the land were destroyed at Denman's direction. ''* -.
In 1889 he retired from the school department. His policy in\ the" school room was to have a limited' number of courses taught thoroughly, - and in subordinating the interest, of teachers, contractors, politicians and -schoolbook men to those of the pupil. After his retirement from the school department hee served on the board of supervisors and took an active part in the- civic movement /which began with ' the "Wallace grand Jury and led to the adoption of the charter. As a member of the Wallace grand Jury he voted' for the Indictment of Boss Buckley and took part in the examination . of Senator Stanford as to the alleged briberies in securing his election to the senate, and of the officers of the -several, public service corporations, who, ■ it will be remembered, then had no hesitancy in exposing, the. attempts of BossßUckley to extort from- them. * ••• *- .
Denman was a member of the Pacific Union, Commonwealth', and Unitarian clubs and was one of the original members of the First Unitarian church- in San . Francisco. He is .survived by a widow, one son, Attorney William Den-man and one daughter, Mary Denman Cheatham, wife of Colonel Cheatham.”

- He may have had a middle school in San Francisco named after him: https://jdms-sfusd-ca.schoolloop.com/

- from http://www.sfgenealogy.com/sf/history/hgsch79.htm#Denman
Denman Grammar School
This school is pleasantly located on the northwest corner of Bush and Taylor streets, in a fine large sixteen-class brick building, erected in 1864. It is now exclusively a girls' school, and contains 825 pupils.
This was one of the first free schools organized in the city, and was opened on the 17th of November, 1851**, in a small one-story rented building, near the corner of Second and Minna streets, and was then called the "Happy Valley School." It was removed in November, 1853, to a wooden building on Bush street near Sansome street, where retained until the 21st of May, 1854, when it was transferred to the brick school house on the corner of Bush Stockton, now used to accommodate some of the classes of the Bush Street Primary School. It was again removed in July, 1864, to its present location. It was first organized as a mixed school for boys and girls, but in July 1865, the sexes were separated, and the boys were transferred to the Lincoln School. This school was first taught by James DENMAN, who remained as Principal till May 4, 1857, when he resigned on account of ill health. In consideration of his being one of the pioneer teachers of our present system of free schools, the Teachers' Institute of the city petitioned the Board of Education to have this first public school, which he had organized and taught so long named the "DENMAN Grammar School." The Board of Education, in granting the request of the teachers of the city, unanimously passed the following order:
‘Resolved, That we fully appreciate the obligations of this Board, as well as that of all friends of education, to Mr. DENMAN as the pioneer teacher in the Public Schools of this city, and in token thereof, cheerfully accede to the request made by the teachers, and hereby order that the Bush Street Grammar School be hereafter designated and known as the DENMAN Grammar School.’

“Denman Grammar School Medals
In June, 1865, James DENMAN, presented to the Board of Education the sum of $1,000 to establish a medal fund, the proceeds from the interest of which were to be expended annually in procuring medals for the most deserving pupils attending the DENMAN Grammar School.
At first, a gold medal was awarded the best scholar in the graduation class and silver medals to each graduate who was good in deportment and regular attendance. A silver medal was also given to the best pupil in each of the lower classes.
At present, none but silver medals are awarded, and those only to graduates who are good in the deportment and regular in attendance.
The following teachers have been Principals of the school:
James DENMAN, elected November 17, 1851
George TAIT, elected June , 1857
Theodore BRADLEY, elected December, 1861
James DENMAN, re-elected July 3, 1864
John SWETT, elected December, 1867
James DENMAN, re-elected January, 1871
John SWETT, re-elected December, 1873
James DENMAN, re-elected June 13, 1876 “
On 6 Apr 1871 when James was 41, he married Helen Virginia JORDAN in San Francisco, California, USA. Born in Jun 1847 in Maine, USA. Helen Virginia died aft 1930; she was 82.
