Profile: Spalding County
Year Minimum Foundation building program completed
c. 1958.
Griffin city and Spalding County systems merged in the early 1950s, using the hyphenated name Griffin-Spalding. A new Kelsey Elementary appears in the 1958-59 Georgia Educational Directory for the first name and a number of small schools were no longer listed. Other additions for new buildings are currently unknown.
| Year of total integration
1970.
| Known high schools
- Cabin Creek (Griffin)
- Fairmont (Griffin)
- Griffin Vocational
Griffin Vocational opened in 1929. Cabin Creek went back decades earlier, operating as a private school. It and Griffin Vocational each had high schools for at least a few years.
Cabin Creek seems to have become a city school by the late 1940s. When it partially burned in 1949, the Griffin Daily News noted that it and other neighborhood schools were slated for replacement.
