Page "Scott County, Kentucky" Paragraph 13

In 1825, the Choctaw Nation established the Choctaw Academy at Blue Spring in the county.

They operated the school for Choctaw boys until 1842, when it closed.

They transferred the staff and records to the Choctaw Nation, Indian Territory, where they had removed in the 1830s.

There they founded the Spencer Academy in 1844 as the school for Choctaw boys and also founded a school for girls.

Later in the nineteenth century, they accepted Baptist missionaries to found the Armstrong Academy.
