State Teachers and Agricultural
College/Hubbard Training School
Founded in 1902 by William M. Hubbard,
STAC was one of the state's official schools for the instruction
of black teachers between 1931 and 1938. Originally named the
Forsyth Normal and Industrial School, STAC was one of three black
public colleges added to the University System of Georgia in
1932. Teaches from rural county school systems came to STAC to
earn their teaching certificates. After closing in 1939, the
school re-opened later that year as the Hubbard Training School,
Monroe County's first black high school. New construction on
this campus, begun in 1955, housed the Hubbard Elementary and
High School, and, in 1970, the Hubbard Elementary School
