Pioneer PROFESSOR JAMES L. GRANT HISTORY OF TODD-GRANT HIGH SCHOOL The Todd-Grant High School was established for the purpose of providing a high school educa- tion for the youth of McIntosh County. The Todd-Grant Industrial School, as it was called was erected in 1930. It was Professor James L. Grant, a pioneer teacher and leader in McIntosh County, who had the foresight and vision to organize the high school. Working through the McIntosh County Board of Education in co-operation with the Julius Rosenwald Fund, Mrs. Jule Atwood, C.S. Superintendent, Mr. D. E. Lane, President of the Board of Education and Mr. Robert L. Cousin, State Supervisor of Negro Education, Professor Grant established what is now the Todd-Grant High School. During the quarter century from 1930 through 1955, the school has enjoyed effective leadership. Under the leadership of Mr. C. A. DeVillars, Principal, the school has grown from a six-teacher school to a twenty-teacher accredited hi$i school with a twenth-six piece band and a forty voice chorus. The school is proud of many of its graduates who have finished accredited colleges in many sections of the United States; and many more who have taken leading positions in various walks of life in many sections of the country.
