Hills School 1891

On  October 9, 1841, Robert Hill, Sr. donated the orginal plot of land for school use.  For the sum of $1.00, he sold it to Steubenville and Cross Creek School District, Lot Number Two and Ten which can be identified as the east end of the triangle near Wilson Avenue-Montgomery Lane intersection.  The early educational edifice was a white frame, one room school located somewhere near the point.  This school is originally known as Oak Grove School for the stately forest of trees on the farm surrounding it. Benjamin and Mary Hill, in 1891, granted to the school district another tract of land.  Shortly afterwards, a two-room school was constructed.
