Noble
Hill School
Cassville, Georgia
The
Noble Hill School is located in Cassville, a northwest
Georgia community. This wooden building was the first Rosenwald “Community
School Plan” building constructed in Bartow County.
Noble Hill was built through partnerships, as African Americans,
whites, the Bartow County Board of Education and the Rosenwald
Fund contributed financial and human capital to provide
an elementary school education to local students. When
Noble Hill opened in 1924, African Americans contributed
47% of the building costs, and 33% was provided through
the Rosenwald Fund.

schools had when little documentary evidence remains. Through
an organized oral history program the rich social history of
communities can be documented and shared.
