In 1940 there were 85 county school houses in Perry Co.
M. C. Napier was the superintendent and there were 152 teachers.
It was estimated that 6,500 pupils would start classes
on Monday, July 22, 1940.
I added some of the schools and their teachers below.
If you know of any school and the teacher or teachers for any years,
that's not listed, let me know and I will add them.
You may still be able to get your old school records by
