This site features three sections illustrating education in western North Carolina:

1. County school buildings from Jackson and Swain counties and the Training School operated by the federal government for the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians;
   
2. the Sylva Collegiate Institute, a private school supported by a regional Baptist association from 1900-1932; and,
   
3. Cullowhee Normal & Industrial School, a North Carolina state institution founded in 1889 as Cullowhee High School (also called Cullowhee Academy).

 

This project is 100% supported with federal LSTA funds made possible through a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, administered by the State Library of North Carolina, a division of the Department of Cultural Resources.
