Pine Mountain Settlement School Fundraiser

The Pine Mountain Settlement School opened its doors in 1913 with a few children and teachers and a wealth of community support. Due to its mountainous terrain, Pine Mountain offered a boarding school opportunity so children of all ages could receive book learning, as well as an education for life. Since its inception, Pine Mountain Settlement School has continued to expand the curriculum to meet the growing needs of the Appalachian population. It now focuses its efforts on providing environmental education programs to children of the area and visitors from across the nation.
