Share Your Jones School Story

Your Story Is Part of the Jones School Story

The history of J.J. Jones School lives not only in official records and historic buildings, but also in the memories, experiences, photographs, and personal collections of the people whose lives are connected to it.

Former students, teachers, staff members, families, neighbors, and community members hold pieces of the Jones School story that may not exist anywhere else. A name remembered, a photograph tucked away, a story passed down through a family, or a program saved from a special event can help us better understand and document the life of the school and the community that surrounded it.

AAHGS–Surry NC invites you to help us document and share that legacy.

Every Story Adds to Our History

Personal stories bring history to life in ways that official records alone cannot.

What you share may help identify someone in a photograph, document an event, reconnect a family to the school, provide insight into student or community life, or fill a gap in the historical record.

Materials and information shared with AAHGS–Surry NC may also contribute to future research, exhibitions, oral-history projects, digital resources, educational programs, and other efforts to share the history and legacy of J.J. Jones School.
