History
The school was founded by Methodist missionary Mattie W. Noble on November 26, 1896, starting from educating 9 women, and the school taught elementary level reading. In 1899, Methodist missionary E. Douglas Follwell continued the works of the school. The school used to be run cooperatively with the Presbyterian church, but became independent from it in 1918. In 1920, Dillingham became the principal for the school, and improved the accommodations.[2]
