Robert F. Munroe Day School

The school was established in 1969[1] as a segregation academy. This enabled white parents to keep their children from being educated alongside black students when the Gadsden County public schools underwent court-ordered desegregation.[2] Originally to be known as the Gadsden Day School, it was ultimately named after board member Robert Fraser Munroe, who died as the school was being established.[3] The first headmaster was S.M. Eubanks.

The school opened to all grade levels in 1970. The day kindergarten Quincy campus opened in 1977.[3]

The main campus is in Mount Pleasant, an unincorporated area near Quincy,[1] while the kindergarten campus, the Robert F. Munroe Day Kindergarten, is in Quincy proper.[4]

The main campus has 20 acres (8.1 ha) of land.[4] Buildings on the Mount Pleasant campus include:[3]
