Founded in 1889 by Jasper Davis, the
Mississippi Normal Institute opened
on September 1, 1890, east of this site,
with an initial enrollment of 75 students
that gradually increased throughout the
1890s. At its height, the school boasted
an enrollment of 300, attracting students
from the local area as well as Texas
Oklahoma, and Alabama. Consolidated
with the local public school system in
1907, the school became known as Sherman
School and served grades one through
twelve until it closed in May 1964 .
