While there are many beginning dates in our historic town of St. Augustine and St. Johns County, the beginning date for the St. Johns County School Board was April 30, 1869. The first chairman of the school board was N. D. Benedict and the first Superintendent was O. Bronson.
Schooling for both white and African-American students had existed before this date and can be documented well back into the Spanish periods. However, for the purposes of this page we will use 1862 as the beginning of African-American education in St. Johns County and 1832 as the beginning of white education.
