Founded 1870, at Culleoka, by William R. ("Shawney") Webb, whose brother, John M. ("Old Jack") Webb joined him in 1874. It moved here in 1886. Its curriculum, embraced chiefly Latin, Greek, and Mathematics, was designed to give a sound secondary prepartory education. Many of its early graduates have conducted schools of the same type, which were once prominent in the South's educational system.
Found in front of the administration building.
