Dug Hill School was
first located next door to Dugs hill Church.
It was a one room school. Then the new school was later built
which
had two rooms. The last teachers at this school was Mrs. Mattie
Washington of the Dugs Hill Community and Mrs. Katie Louise Otis of
Livingston.
This was a Black School. If someone have some precise dates of
this
school closing and how it was started - It would be appreciated.
