Abstract:

Families in remote areas of the western mountains emerged in the 1930s as developments encroached on the mountainous area. Smaller schools for the remote communities in the area were consolidated into the Highlands' school system which was not favored by citizens of the area and they withdrew their children. Frances Morgan was an early pioneer to open an elementary school in 1933 in the small town of Broadway and reverse the trend of closing smaller schools that served smaller communities.
