EDUCATION
As soon as
possible the settlers of Carroll County started to
make arrangements for the preaching of the gospel and the education
of their children. The building of the school was
usually a structure made out of rough logs with one small
window. This building would quite possibly serve a dual
purpose for the community. One for their religious services and
another as their schoolhouse.
Following is a brief listing of the early
schools and teachers of the area. If you have any information on
these or any other schools of Carroll County please contact me. I
would like to include the information on these pages
This school was located in
