The school was founded in c. 1891 while holding classes in the Mt. Sinai Baptist Church, and had its first building financed by the students’ parents. The original building was located between the church and the train station in Booth. The original building was blown down in an assumed storm, and the school relocated back to the church before the building was rebuilt at its current site. As of 2001, it is owned by the Mt. Sinai Community Center.[1]
