Oral History of Rural Belton Community Schools

In 1955, numerous small community schools were consolidated into Wright Elementary School. Wright Elementary is named after E.J. Wright. He was a legislative delegate from the community and was on the school board of directors. It was his decision to keep the school in the community.  Wright elementary is located in the northwestern portion of South Carolina and is situated in eastern Anderson County. The school serves students in the communities of Ebenezer, Long Branch, Mount Bethel, Snow Hill, Broadway Lake, Lake Secession, Bethany, Craytonville, Jones Chapel, First Creek, and Asaville. This small community schools that were consolidated to make Wright Elementary were Asaville, Snow Hill, Ebenezer, Mount Bethel, and Bethany. 
Many generations of students have now attended Wright Elementary School. It has been very interesting to hear the oral history of our school and community as told by these former students and former teachers.
