Early efforts to improve the quality of education and provide a complete high school program in area districts resulted in the merger of rural schools in Wood and Upshur counties. Consolidation began in 1929 when Mt. Gilead and Rosewood schools combined. In 1938 Rosewood joined with schools from Rhonesboro, Honey Creek, and Union. The district was named Harmony, honoring the smooth transition. Classes were relocated in a rock building at this site. Schools added later were Grice, Peach, Enon, Ogburn, Soules Chapel, Latch, and part of the Kelsey District. (1980) |
