1928 School Items


Things were very different for our schools many years ago.  They all didn't start at the same time and the county schools only had three and a half months for a school term.

Crittenden Press, Aug. 1928.
The rural schools of Crittenden County started Monday morning of this week.



County high schools, Shady Grove and Frances, will start later.  Both schools are to be accredited high schools this year.  
 Frances Grade and High School

 Sugar Grove and Crider schools have been consolidated and there will be three and a half months of each at each place.  

Mrs. Vera Stembridge is the teacher for these two districts.

Most of the teachers have started a campaign for better attendance.  The county school board plans to give an attendance diploma to all those who have a perfect attendance record for the year.

Other teacher elected were
  • Miss Leah Lindsey at Boaz;
  • Miss Iris Lofton, at Hebron;
  • Miss Isobel Walker at White Hall;
  • Mrs. Fred Gilbert at Forrest Grove;
  • Miss Georgia Nation at Baker;
  • Miss Rebecca Moore at Owen;
  • Miss Naoma Norris at Siloam
