WHITE OAK SCHOOL

The school began its existence as an educational institution in 1878. Three years later (1881) White Oak Academy was built by the people of the community, a large, one-room, wooden building. An extra room was added to the south side of the academy in 1901 to house primary students... In 1902, the first typewriter for the school was purchased for the business department and a library was established with 500 volumes. Two years later another wing was added to the east side and two additional rooms were built onto the front in 1905. White Oak Academy was the only high school in Bladen County for many years.
