"History of Union County Schools" What do Confidence, Ebenezer and Hood have in common? Do you know what the Blairsville Collegiate Institute was? Mr. Alan Denmon and his high school students began an oral history project in 2006, the object of which was to document all of the pre-consolidation community schools that existed in Union County. During this seminar, Mr. Denmon will share the stories, archival photos and oral histories his students have collected from former Union County students and teachers about their school experiences. If you ever wondered what it was like to attend a one-room school or what growing up in northeast Georgia was like fifty or sixty years ago, then this seminar is for you
