RG134-05-01Description
The history of education in Greenville County, South Carolina, reflects a journey of vision, perseverance, and reform. From the early “Old Field Schools” and private academies of the 18th and 19th centuries to the formation of a unified county-wide school district in 1951, education evolved through community initiative and legislative support. Key figures such as Vardry McBee, Dr. William Loggins, and Dr. M.T. Anderson helped shape modern public education. Despite early challenges—including limited resources, inequality, and opposition—Greenville eventually embraced progressive reforms, resulting in increased funding, desegregation, improved facilities, and expanded educational opportunities for all children.Collection
