Schools

Indian Rock has always had a good school. Frank Smith, now County

Superintendent of Upshur County, took charge of the school in 1920 and

later organized a high school. A beautiful brick building was put up in

1934, and high school pupils were brought in from the near by districts.

This high school was maintained for several years till the scholastic

population became so low they were forced to lower their grade. They

still have a good school, however, with eight grades and four teachers.

The Baptist Church is the only church in the community, with Otis Shipp

and wife, and Willie Floyd, as leaders.

D. F. Smith, Matt Camp, Gordon Carrington, Cleon Floyd, Milton Rash, and

W. O. Hancock are the present trustees of the school. Buses from

Glenwood and East Mountain, also one local bus, serve the district.
