The Caney Fork School, also known as the Maynard Colored School, was completed in 1922. The one-teacher type school was constructed for $2,000. The Rosenwald Fund provided $500, and the local community funded the rest. The school was used until 1933, when the county consolidated all Black schools into one school.
