History

According to a thesis written by Eugene Carol Hoover in 1939 a Dr. J.M. Smith who was superintendent of the county schools from 1876 to 1885 wrote a history of education in the county, in which he said prior to 1850 Henry County virtually had no school history worth reporting. From 1846 to 1851, there was a brief experiment in Henry County with district free schools, which led to a violent political upheaval and culminated in abandonment of the experiment.

According to Jean Hairston the first superintendent of Schools in Henry County was Mr. Greenberry T. Griggs who served from 1870 to 1876. In 1871 Mr. Griggs reported there were 19 one room schools operating for white children and 10 operating for black children. These schools were in session for about four and a half months. In 1901 it was reported there were 75 schools for white children and 32 for the black children. Schools at this time went for five and a half months. All the schools only served grades 1-7.
