Boyd School

According to information received from talking to several people they remember that Boyd had a two-room schoolhouse. We are trying to get some history of the Boyd School and if you know of anyone or if you attended school at Boyd please share your information with us.

We think that at one time Abner Parker and Theo Parker were trustees.

Some of the teachers were

Nola Ringer wife of Alvin Ringer taught Primer.
Kelmer Blue taught 1st. grade.
Ava Williams or Clara Roberts taught 2nd or 3rd. grade.
4th Grade was taught by Howard Moore’s mother for 2 terms.
Annie Blanton taught 5th - 8th grade and was principal at the time that the schools consolidated in 1927.
Leon McCallum was principal and taught 5th - 8th grade.
At one time Eddie Love Morress was principal and taught.
Tom Davis also taught at Boyd.
A Mr. Strickland and Mr. Townsend were either teachers or principals at one time.

Boyd was consolidated in with the Perry School in 1927. At that time Bob Murphy owned the bus called the "Boyd Special" and children were bussed to Perry to continue their education. We were told that at one time Idell Bass drove the bus to school from Boyd to Perry.
