Cedar Grove School was a one-room school used to educate African American children from approximately 1915 to the late 1940s. Grades 1 through 7 were all taught in one room, with as many as 50 children and "one small library of 20 books over in the corner." The first teacher was J.L. Lash, who was licensed by Israel Butner, the first superintendent of Forsyth County schools. Abraham Speas also taught at Cedar Grove.
