Abstract:

Pitt Academy was chartered in 1786 and built in Greenville shortly thereafter. Greenville Academy was chartered in 1814. In 1830, the Greenville Female Academy was formed. It was located on the corner of Second and Greene streets. Sometime in 1835, a male academy, located where the Sheppard Memorial Library stands, was established. On September 1, 1885, the Greenville Male and Female Institute (picture available) opened on Dickinson Avenue. It later merged and was transformed into the Pitt Female Seminary.
