Why is the school named “Hillgrove”? |
Hillgrove High School sits on 97 acres that was once part of the
neighboring Hillgrove Farm. Dr. Harry Hill and Mrs. Harriet Hargrove
Hill bought the property in 1952 to raise cattle and Tennessee walking
horses.
Dr. Hill served in the South Pacific during World War II from February
1942 through June of 1946. His mother wrote him about a young girl he
should meet upon his return from service, Miss Harriet Hargrove.
Mrs. Hill graduated from Girls High School and Agnes Scott College.
Dr. Hill graduated from Campbell of Fairburn High School, the
University of Georgia and the Medical College of Georgia.
Young Harris College was the beneficiary of the 136 acres sold to the
Cobb County School District for Hillgrove High School and the
Lovinggood Middle School. The Hills have long admired the quality of
the liberal arts education at Young Harris College.
