1873 - A Beginning for Schools

At Miss Hattie Moore's house behind St. Peter's Episcopal Church, the first North Carolina graded school opens. There is no tuition charge for the 175 students who are taught by eight teachers. But the school will run out of money, and disputes over taxes will delay permanent funding for the school.
