Mount Olive

The doorway has obviously been altered at some point. I would assume that it originally looked like those on Middle Hill (also in the Washington County set).

Mount Olive was listed as a 3-teacher school in its last year, 1957-58. I have no idea how they fit three teachers into this building, as from my observations, it looked to have only two classrooms.

In 1957, MO's last year, nearly 20% of all black schools in the state had three teachers or fewer. This was a dramatic decrease from only four years earlier, when the book "Modern Georgia" said that 71% of Georgia's black schools (1,755 total schools) were this size and smaller. A tremendous change also occurred in 1958, when merely 8% of black schools were this small.
