Bailey-Johnson School Exhibit

This exhibit showcases historic photographs related to the Bailey-Johnson School.

The Roswell History Museum is proud to unveil a new exhibit honoring the legacy of the Bailey-Johnson School, an important institution that served as the only public high school available to Black students in North Fulton during segregation. The exhibit highlights the vital role Bailey-Johnson played in fostering education, resilience, and community empowerment. It is now on display, featuring historic photographs and stories that celebrate this significant chapter of local history. Photos featured in the exhibit were generously loaned to Roswell History Museum by Charles Grogan, in collaboration with the Alpharetta & Old Milton County Historical Society. Grogan attended Bailey-Johnson from first grade in 1953 through graduation in 1965 and serves as the official Bailey-Johnson Community Historian. These images provide a rare glimpse into the school's history and the lives of those who shaped its legacy.
