The Replica Well and Outdoor Classroom
The Original Well Stood Where the school enterance is now.
A Strong SeNSE OF History
Our School has a rich history. Near the current school driveway entrance there was once a fresh water well that figured prominently in the history of the area. Native Americans once used the springs in this area along the Hightower Trail for fresh water. Later, the well was a frequent resting place for civil war soldiers who would stop by for a drink.
Ike Roberts, for whom Roberts Drive is named, engineered the narrow guage train that ran from the Chattahoochee River across what is now the front of the school to the station in Chamblee. Locals who wanted a ride only needed to wave down Ike and he would stop and let them hop on for a ride. There was no turntable , so every afternoon Ike would bring the train home through Dunwoody to Sandy Springs by travelling backwards.
There is a replica of the old well in the middle of our beautiful outdoor classroom and there is a small wooden model of the Dinky train, also called 'Old Buck' in the Dunwoody Springs Copeland Media Center. Students can come read in the Dinky Train as a reward for special achievements.
