The Wehadkee School was a 2-Teacher school. It was built in 1921-22 at a cost of $1950.00 across the road from the Wehadkee Missionary Baptist Church. The construction costs were covered by contributions of $750.00 from Negroes; $250.00 from Whites; $450.00 from the Public; and $500.00 from the Rosenwald School Foundation. In later years, the school was enlarged due to increasing enrollment of students from the Wehadkee, Springfield, and High Shoals communities.
