History
In 1969, a group of interested citizens organized Rose Hill Christian School, Inc. The school opened on September 5, 1969, in a rented plant located in the town of Teachey, North Carolina, with an enrollment of 98 students in grades 1-8. In 1970, Harrells Christian Academy was established at its present location in Harrells, North Carolina.
The school plant in Harrells was purchased and renovated during the 1969-1970 school year by the Foundation for School Development, Inc. The Foundation consisted of a group of local businessmen gathered with the primary purpose of securing a permanent home for the Rose Hill Christian School, Inc. The plant purchased, known as Franklin School, was built by the Sampson County Board of Education in the late 1940s. It was used as a public school until consolidation caused the plant to be closed and sold in the early 1960s.
