Unity Grove School-Locust Grove, Georgia

Leave a comment

Founded as early as 1891, the Unity Grove school was founded with the assistance of James Weldon Johnson in the Unity Grove community near Locust Grove. In 1931, the school was rebuilt as a two-teacher type school with Rosenwald funds. The total budget for the rebuild was $2537. The school was in use until 1954 when it was consolidated with another school in the county.

They are currently fundraising to save the school. You can donate. There is event being held to fundraise. See the flyer below.

Warren Academy-Monticello, Georgia

The front view through the trees.

This is the Warren Academy which used to sit next to Mount Olive Church. Founded in 1875, it was one of the few schools in Jasper County at the time. I have been unable to determine the relationship between the church and school, but I am assuming that the school children attended both the church and school.

This photo was identified as the children of Warren Academy. I believe they are in front of Mount Olive Church because the doors and windows do not match.
