Berry College

In 1902, Martha Berry, daughter of a prominent local business owner, founded the Boys Industrial School on 83 acres of land inherited from her father. In exchange for an education, students of the school would work to help build, run, and maintain the new school. In 1904, it became the first approved school of the Daughters of the American Revolution.https://www.dar.org/national-society/education/dar-schools In 1909, the Martha Berry School for Girls was added, and collectively with the boys school, it came to be known as the Berry Schools. The free labor provided by the students helped to keep construction and operating costs for the schools low. In 1926, the school became a junior college and several years later, a senior college, graduating its first class in 1932. During the 1930s, the school campus grew to 30,000 acres, helped by a large donation from Henry Ford. In 1957, Berry College became accredited by the SACS. During the 1960s, Berry College began paying student workers instead of crediting accounts and ended mandatory religious services for students.{{cite web | url=https://www.berry.edu/about/our-rich-history/ | title=History of Berry College }}

Furthermore, the high school students were engaged in Bible study.

Berry abruptly closed the academy in 1983, and all 144 students left to attend school elsewhere. In 1988, the school moved locations from the Westcott Building to Hamrick Hall, where it is now located. By this time the age range had expanded to teach children up until fifth grade. Since 2002, it has enrolled students in up to the eighth grade. A year later, the older students were moved from Hamrick Hall to the newly built Cook Building on Main Campus to form their own separate middle school.{{cite news|author=Staff Report|title=Renovation complete of Berry's Cook Building|url=http://www.northwestgeorgianews.com/renovation-complete-of-berry-s-cook-buildin-local-new/article_ae2f19f4-bb34-5fb9-abbf-3687c0b0c464.html|access-date=June 16, 2017|work=Rome News-Tribune|date=August 27, 2002|language=en}} A series of reunion events were held for former students, parents, teachers and directors in 2007 for the thirty year anniversary.
