A CENTURY Many years ago most any person who felt qualified — or had the energy — could teach school. Records show that Hon. F. C. Stephen- son was the first teacher, beginning in 1855; he taught in a one-room log cabin that was a pri- vate dwelling. HARTWELL'S FIRST HIGH SCHOOL The first school house erected in Hartwell was a one room hulled-in frame building. The lot on which the building was originally located had been donated by the town authorities as a lot for a female academy. Later a house consisting of a long, large room with a chimney at each end was built and the school building was attached as an ell to the new part. This building was used until 1888. This building was moved from West Howell Street to Franklin Street and is still in use as a residence. In September, 1887, a movement for a new school building for the town was launched. A very suitable wood building was erected at a cost of about $7,500. This building, the Hart- well Institute, served well until Thursday, Janu- ary 24, 1907, when it was accidentally de- stroyed by fire while school was in session. HARTWELL HIGH SCHOOL This fire was a great loss, but archi- tects were employed to submit plans and soon an up-to-date structure cost- ing $20,000 was erected on the same site. It was known as Hartwell High School and would supposedly serve for many years to come, but not so; it became too crowded.
