Your First Stop in Georgia’s First City
Massie is the oldest school in continuous operation in Georgia. It operated as a free school for the poor beginning in 1856, ten years before Savannah was granted Georgia’s first charter for public education. Designed by nationally-acclaimed architect John S. Norris, the building is an excellent example of Greek Revival Architecture.
A unit of the Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Massie is housed in three nineteenth-century Greek Revival buildings situated on Calhoun Square in Savannah’s 2.2 square mile Historic Landmark District.
