Rural Schools Fade Away In Surgoinsville And Beyond
Abandoned rural schools across Hawkins and surrounding counties are repurposed or demolished. The Surgoinsville high school, built in the 1960s, sits empty and will be torn down or converted, while other campuses become apartments, storage sites, or community centers. Nearby Slate Hill Marble Hall and Clinc Johnson areas show similar fates as population shifts end true community schooling.
