The Laurens County Training School, located here from 1924 to 1954, had its origins in Gray Court School, a one-room school founded about 1890 on the grounds of Pleasant View Baptist Church. The training school opened in 1924 in a building constructed with assistance from the Rosenwald Fund and taught grades 8 through 11 until 1948. At first emphasizing farming and homemaking skills, it later expanded its curriculum to include more academic courses and became an accredited high school in 1948-49 with the addition of grade 12. The school closed and was later demolished when Laurens County schools were consolidated in 1954.
