Red Hill School

Franklin County · dedicated 1999 · At intersection of Ga Route 106 and Red Hill School Road in Red Hill.

In 1912, William Thomas Sosby donated 1.4 acres near this site for the Red Hill School. Originally for grades 1-6, the school added grades 7-9 in 1922. After consolidation in 1925, a new school building was constructed here on land donated by Sosby and C.C. Fain. Housing a gymnasium/auditorium with a stage for school plays and community activities and a community cannery, this site became the focal point of the unincorporated community of Red Hill. In 1971, a third school building was moved to Carnesville. Only the 1928 teacherage remains here.
