Oakland Normal Institute was a private academy in Yale, Mississippi, that provided students a classical education in art and Latin, as well as education and business courses.[1] It was established in 1887, and remained open until 1904, when it became a county school.
History
[edit | edit source]The original two-story building was torn down in the 1930s, and a one-story building was erected using much of the older building. The Oakland School, serving grades 1 through 8, was closed in 1954. In the 1950s a historic marker was erected at the school site, by former alumni of the Oakland Normal Institute. The building was renovated in 2004 and is now a Mississippi Historical Landmark.[2]
Notable alumni include T. Jeff Busby, a U.S. Representative from Mississippi,[3] and John Breckinridge, a U.S. Attorney General.[citation needed]
