The E. W. Grove-Henry County High School was one of Tennessee's first privately endowed public high schools. Chattanooga architect Reuben Harrison Hunt designed Grove Tower, the school's first building. The cornerstone, laid on June 26, 1906, included a bottle of Grove's Tasteless Chill Tonic made by Edwin Wiley Grove's Paris Medicine Company. Principal Dudley M. Clements taught the nation's first vocational agricultural program here under the 1917 Smith-Hughes Act. In 1930, he founded the first Future Farmers of America leadership training camp in Doyle, Tennessee.
