Seventy First School Early

Other additions included the science lab and a library in 1938, a home economics building in 1945, and four classrooms added to the west wing in 1949.

This school was located in the Carver’s Creek Township. It was formerly a two-teacher school located on a site opposite Long Hill white school. In 1938, it was transferred to a new three-room building about a quarter of a mile off Highway 15A. This school also accommodated 42 students who had attended Pinetuck School. Pinetuck was the first school for African American students to be consolidated with bus transportation.

Initially built as a two room school in 1935, this six-classroom frame structure was located seven miles east of Fayetteville off Cedar Creek Road. Destroyed by fire in May 1950, the school had a staff of six teachers and 240 students enrolled in seven grades. The principal was R.C. Simmons. After the fire, churches in the community (Lock’s Creek, Falling Run and Good Hope) provided space for students until the end of the school year.

Mattie Green Brown was the teacher at this school in 1931.

This school opened in the fall of 1921. It had 14 classrooms. Seven were used for the high school. Laboratory facilities were available for general science, biology, physics and home economics. A lunch room was made available in 1933 by the Grange and the WPA . In 1941, the WPA provided a librarian to operate the library.
