HISTORY:
The Delta-Peach Bottom Elementary School, built in 1954, is the fourth school to educate the students living in the Delta area.
The first school, located where the A.M.E. Zion Church now stands, was described as a “pen of logs, chinked & daubed, with no weather board of plastering”, became the Slate Dale School in 1844. In the early 1870s a two story building was erected to house the growing number of students. It was built and is standing as the current A.M.E. Zion Church, located on Main Street. This allowed for the addition of a high school on the second floor, while the lower grades remained on the first floor......Please visit our page to read the full history of DPBES.
