Turner Grammar School
Inscription
By 1800 Whitsett’s Chapel became this area’s first school. In Jan. 1899 Flat Rock native, philanthropist and real estate developer R.W. Turner and wife Sallie W. Turner gave 2 acres for a new 9th dist. public school. The first Turner School was overcrowded by the 1920s. Designed by architect George D. Waller, Turner Grammar School opened in 1926 with Otto Prather as principal.
The cafetorium dates to 1950. An annex of Cole Elem. in its final years, the school closed in 1989.
