Schofield School’s Chronology and Role in Segregation
The Schofield Colored Industrial School opened in 1969 under Martha Schofield to train Black teachers and tradespeople, later Schofield Normal and Industrial School. It offered printing, harness making, carpentry, blacksmithing, and girls’ domestic courses. Susan B. Anthony aided fundraising, and in 1953 the school was deeded to Aiken County and South Carolina, remaining segregated until 1970 when it housed ninth and tenth grades of Aiken High School.
