Abstract:

The Asheville School for Boys, opened in 1900 by Newton Mitchell Anderson and Charles Andrew Mitchell, allowed female students to enroll for the first time beginning with the 1971-1972 school year. Fifteen students, all from Asheville's recently closed St. Genevieve of the Pines school for girls, enrolled in the first year of co-ed operations with twice again as many registered for the 1972-1973 school year.
