Tamassee DAR School was founded by the S.C. Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution in 1919 in an area described as remote but accessible where the need was greatest. Serving children and families in crisis from the southern Appalachian Mountains, it began with the S.C. Cottage, the first building on campus, which was built by volunteers. At first a boarding school for girls and a day school for boys, Tamassee offers academic, vocational, and citizenship training. In partnership with the Oconee County School District, it served as an elementary and high school until 1965 and has since been an elementary school. The National Society of the DAR began funding the school in 1921 and continues to support its programs.
