This church is located on US 84 and is next door to the old Manor School. FYI: Manor is pronounced with a long “a”, as in May-ner.

Manor School, Ware County

The old Manor School was used from 1993-2010 for an innovative magnet campus, the Ware County School of Agricultural, Forestry & Environmental Sciences. It was the only agriculturally based magnet school in the South, and the only K-12 agriculturally based magnet school in the country. It’s a real shame, considering the excellent performance of the school, that money couldn’t be allocated to keep it running. I’m unsure but suspect the school was built by the WPA during the Great Depression.
