Schools in Hancock County
Aaron Academy School
Aaron Academy School, located at Santa Rosa, was one of the oldest schools in Northern Hancock County. It was an elementary school with grades one through eight.
Aaron Academy was named by William Wesley Frierson, the oldest son of Aaron Frierson and Winnie Seal. William Wesley was a large land owner and owned the site where the school was built. He donated an acre of land for the school with the understanding that the school would be named for his daddy, Aaron. So someone came up with the name Aaron Academy and it was accepted. Aaron had been a promoter of public schools all his life. The school was established prior to 1890 for William Wesley [who] was killed in 1890 in a horse race accident.
The site selected for the school was surrounded by large live oak trees which shaded the building. The first building was a large wooden structure with two large rooms. One room was for grades one through four and the other was for grades five through eight. There were only a few students in each grade.
Children walked as much as three miles each way to
attend school here.
Aaron Academy continued to operate until the 1950s, when the district was incorporated into the Picayune Separate School District.
In the early 1920's the Weston Lumber Company gave the school an additional ten acres and a new school building was building was constructed, about 200 yards south of the older one. The building was used until 1937, when the district was awarded a W.P.A. project to construct a new school building. By this time more space was needed, and the new building had six rooms and a small auditorium. This building served the school until the district was discontinued. It was then used for various community activities. When the NASA project came along, the school was torn down along with every other structure in the zone.
While most of the early students at this school only finished eighth grade, some of them were able to continue their education. Four graduates of Aaron Academy later became Superintendents of Education in Hancock County: Johnny Craft, Ed Kellar, Albert McQueen and Kenneth G. McCarthy.
Over the years many teachers who taught at Aaron Academy went on to distinguish themselves in education and other fields of endeavors.
Theodore Bilbo, who later was twice governor of Mississippi as well as United States Senator from
Mississippi for many years, was among them, Senator Bilbo taught my mother when she attended Aaron Academy as a young lady.
By the time NASA came on the scene, the area had grown greatly and several school buses transported students from this area to Picayune High School.
