Tuition is $500. It was voted to purchase the former Rebecca School from Charles Wideman of Rebecca. "The board of directors stressed that they are interested in a private school to provide 'quality education - not a stopgap to try to avoid integration.' "On the question of the number of grades, the group voted to plan on grades one through nine - the grades most affected by a rolling calling for abolishing a dual school system - but that additional grades will be added 'if feasible."

Title A name given to the resource McKenzie Building Description An account of the resource Location: 105 E College Ave. in Ashburn, GA National Register of Historic Places #: 92001042, Ashburn Commercial Historic District James Simon Shingler (August 25, 1859 – September 30, 1943) constructed what is known as the McKenzie building located in downtown Ashburn, Georgia in 1906. This 8000 sq feet (per floor), two-story structure was built to be used as an office complex. When it was first built, it was originally called the Shingler building but gradually became known to everyone by the current name after Gordon Columbus McKenzie (February 10, 1885 – 2/25/1958). He had offices upstairs where he made farm operations and long-term land loans for at least a decade, possibly longer. In fact, you can still see his name painted on several office doors upstairs (pictured below). Despite the name change, it was still a family affair because J.S. Shingler’s daughter Clyde Shingler McKenzie (Nov 15, 1887 – June 30, 1934) was married to G.C. McKenzie.

Mike Mastrario (M): I am gonna say probably June/July 1992. TCP: Explain how you found out about Turner County? M: We saw a house in Country Living Magazine and it had a section called the “Real Estate Sampler.” The house we wanted to see was in Rebecca, Georgia. We called the real estate agent, it was an agent out of Tifton, but they said that the house was under contract but there were a lot of other houses in the area for sale. So she sent me a little real estate magazine that showed different areas with houses for sale. We saw how big Tifton was and decided we didn’t want to live in Tifton. So we started looking at some of the surrounding areas in the book and there were some houses for sale in Turner County. They were extremely inexpensive. We initially came down to look at a 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom house on 5 acres down the middle of West End Avenue. We saw the condition of the houses around there and figured whatever money we put into this house, which needed a bunch of work done, we would never reclaim that value. So we looked at it and passed. The real estate agent was driving us, George Beasly from Ashburn, and we came back up West End Avenue and jokingly he said, “That big house there is for sale.” He was referring to the big 2 story Victorian [the Betts-Shealy House] with the grass about 2 feet tall and it was very unkempt. He said, “It’s really nice inside and it’s for sale!” and he sort of laughed like maybe it was out of our price range or that it was not quite what we were looking for and my wife said, “Can you get us the key so we can look at it?” The real estate agent said, “Really!?” To which I replied, “If she wants the key, get us the key.” Duration Length of time involved (seconds, minutes, hours, days, class periods, etc.) 2 minutes, 57 seconds Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
