Carr Institute
1884 - 1942

   Carr Institute, the first school of the Fulton City system, was built on a site conveyed by W. T. Carr and wife to A. B. Whatne and others as trustees on Aug. 1, 1884. The cost was $15,000. The first floor of this building was used for the lower grades (1-6) and the second floor for the upper gardes (7-10). Grade 11 was added later and grade 12 in 1904. This was a public school, accredited by the state. The first graduating class, under the 11 grade system, was in 1903.
   A board of trustees governed the school system until 1897, when the name was changed to Board of Education. Trustees elected on May 7, 1892 were Martin Babb, chairman; D. W. Hughes, J. M. Freeman, G. h. Bransford and S. T. Field.
