Ballard School

Ballard School was located in the northern part of White County, at the intersection of Ballard and Breeding Farm Roads.
On April 27, 1901, J.M. and Margaret Moore gave one quarter of an acre to the directors for the Board of Education, W.B. Mitchell, B.F. Howard, and Joseph Hampton, for a school. The school likely opened sometime soon after that date. Further land was added to the parcel in 1911 and 1924.
Ballard School closed down in 1953 (one source says 1956), when it and nearby Shugarts School were consolidated into the new Fountain Head School.
