| Summary: | In 1909, Elizabeth Duncan and Miss Mary Nance Fair opened a private school for girls through the fifth grade and boys though the age of ten. The school was first located in the old Masonic Building. By September 1912 the school had relocated to Westmoreland Hall where classes there reached forty students. Other teachers who joined the faculty included Nonie Chandler and Myrtle McGuire. By 1918, the school had nearly eighty pupils enrolled. Athens residents purchased property from Mr. S. A. Davis and constructed a building for the school. The Athens Preparatory School opened its new building on East Bryan Street in September the following year. The school closed in 1922 when only forty students registered. |
