In 1921, the Confederate Grove, Garner, Clear Branch, and Mt. Zion community schools consolidated to create the New Sight School, which was once located on this site. It was established under the Smith-Hughes Act of 1917, designed to promote vocational, agricultural, and domestic science education in public schools. The New Sight School opened with an enrollment of 248 students, eight teachers, and Mr. O.F. Grantham as the first principal. The New Sight School closed in 1960.
