The Rosenwald School on Ogden Road was built in 1930.  It was named for Julius Rosenwald president of the Sears and Roebuck Company. The whole idea to educate African Americans came from this man with the legacy of Booker T. Washington. The purpose of the Rosenwald school on Ogden Road and every other Rosenwald school was to educate African-American in the rural south. Although many people doubted the Rosenwald school dream, the plan continued without stop. Many Rosenwald school continued until the 1954 Supreme Court ruling against Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka. The main idea for Rosenwald schools was to be built as close to the center s possible. The Rosenwald School was built to serve the community the whole entire year. Although most schools were made too small they had to make the best of what they had. A one room schoolhouse was made to accommodate no more than 45 pupils, a two room schoolhouse no more than 90, and a three room school house no more than 115-225 pupils. The Ogden School located in York County, South Carolina was built on four acres of land and was a three teacher type. The total cost of the school was thirty eight hundred dollars and the insurance was three thousand dollars. The Rock Hill School District is now renovating this school for a fifth grade classroom to teach history.
