Audio Description

In 1855, Reverend Leroy Gaston and his wife Susan moved to Corinth with the thought of opening a girls’ school. Two years later their dream was realized and construction began on the magnificent three story brick structure. The land chosen for the school was southwest of the railroad junction on a high knoll, later known as College Hill.
