Massie Heritage Center Debuts Exhibit Detailing History of Those Whose Names Have Graced Our Schools

Alfred Ely Beach, Esther F. Garrison, Andrea B. Williams…these are just a few examples of the dozens of Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools that are now or have previously been named in honor of a notable local individual. But who are they? What contribution did they make to our community that warranted a school being named in their honor? Massie Heritage Center has now created an online exhibit to answer those questions for all.

The exhibition is titled “In Their Honor: Savannah Schools Named After Notable Individuals.” It is a look at the people whose names grace district schools, past and present. Designed to be a resource for researchers or the simply curious, the online exhibit culls information from a wide variety of sources and includes photos of each individual.
