Capshaw School

Founded in 1939 as part of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal Program, Capshaw School was named for Cookeville attorney and Dixie College co-founder Robert Byrd Capshaw and stood on land that had once been part of the Capshaw farm. Its original structure was built with labor from the Works Progress Administration, and before the old building was razed in 2002 after construction of a new one, the school had served students in grades one through eight.
