Join us! Tomorrow, Thursday October 8th at 6:00pm in the Community Room of the Jackson County Library for a stroll through our county’s educational history! Ann Davis Melton and Karen Crawford Nicholson will present a program about the beginnings of education in Jackson County.
From Cashiers to Qualla, they will have pictures of the older schools in the county. You may even find out that there were schools in places you didn’t even know were places!
We are excited to have gift drawings for our local educators and school staff who attend!
