Year Minimum Foundation building program completed ? Chickamauga city and Walker County each had school systems. Chickamauga seems to have never had an African American school part of its system. Historic Aerials has a 1955 view of Hill's campus, which bears a resembance to the typical style of a Minimum Foundation-built school. Another Walker County school built under the program opened in 1956. It was normal for these schools to be built at the same time, so Hill might not have been built by the state, but perhaps a few years earlier, when Walker consolidated almost all of its Black schools. This seems to be at least partially confirmed by an Jan. 5, 1950 Atlanta Journal article about gradual improvements to Black education that came with a photo of the new Wallaceville school in the Walker County system. Authors Margaret Shannon and George Goodwin describe Walker as such: In Walker [C]ounty, where they think they have their Negro situation pretty well in hand, new white and new Negro eight-grade schools were opened in 1949. The white school cost $93,000. The Negro school cost $13,000. Only a few months old, the Negro school with its frame building, beaverboard partitions and big iron coal stoves already looks sadly aged.

Year of total integration ? Walker County initially intended to leave an elementary school at Hill for the 1967-68 school term, according to the Jan. 18, 1967, Walker County Messenger. Plans changed during the next few months with Hill closed completely. In the Oct. 18 Messenger, Superintendent E.G. Summers said that Hill would be given new life as a junior high. Classroom space was badly needed and the Hill campus could house 500 students. The county's other Black school, Wallaceville, continues to be listed in the Georgia Educational Directory as a grades 1-8 school. In 1970, it was also switched to a junior high. Nothing else is currently known about its exact status with Hill's closure.
