Cherry Hill School
Cherry Hill School is a historic school for African-American students located at Hilton Head Island, Beaufort County, South Carolina. It was built about 1937, and is a simple, gable-front rectangular one-room frame and weatherboard-sided schoolhouse on an open brick-pier foundation. The school operated until all African-American children attended the new consolidated elementary school in 1954. The community built and helped maintain the school consisted of the descendants of the former-slave town of Mitchelville, the first community to mandate education in the South. The St. James Baptist Church purchased the school in 1956. The church extended and renovated the building in 1984.
It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.
