Picture's below of Oak Grove School - Donated by Vicky Walker Monroe
I am sending you pictures of Oak Grove High
School. My family ( Walker ) are from Paragould and all these
pictures came from family members.
This picture is from 1902 of Oak Grove
School. We are not sure of the exact location but my cousin Elmer
May often talked about a spring nearby that the boys would get
fresh water from.
