SAINT JAMES SCHOOL

This was one of twenty African American schools build in Your County in the early 20th century with support from the Julius Rosenwald Foundation, which helped fund nearly 5000 new schools for Black pupils across the South, including approx. 500 in S.C. This school was built in 1929 - 1930 at the cost of $3000 and sits on a 4-acre lot. It follows a two-teacher design plan commonly used for smaller Rosenwald School.
