Abstract:
By the 1770s there were school teachers in Pitt County. In 1786 the Pitt Academy was incorporated in Greenville. In 1817, the Pleasant Grove Academy opened, and by the 1830s, the spirit of education had come to Pitt County and the state of North Carolina. Women’s academies and Common Schools were established across the State, and tax money was raised for the upkeep of schools and pay of the teachers. A pioneer of Pitt County education, Mrs. William Henry Smith, also known as Aunt Pollie Nelson Smith, began teaching area children in 1845, which eventually led to the development of a two story school house built in 1882. Despite the less than attractive conditions of these school houses, eventually every small community in Pitt County had their own, until 1938 when the schools were consolidated and these houses were sold off.

Abstract:
The old Winterville Academy was the outgrowth of local citizens trying to educate the children of their community. By 1895, Nannie C. Cox (1865-1939) bought a lot in the new town of Winterville and with the help of her brother, built a boarding house and school on her lot. The two-teacher school opened in 1895 and it became a very popular and influential school. This school went down about 1900 and another denominational school was built in Winterville by A. G. Cox and Dr. Beriah T. Cox in 1900. It opened in January 1901 as the “Winterville Academy” with G. E. Lineberry as principal. It incorporated as the “Winterville High School” in February 1901. The school survived several fires and reopened in 1920 as a public high school. It later became the A. G. Cox Middle School and was finally razed in 1974.
