Under the management of Professor Franklin Little, Beulah Academy opened its doors in November 1894. In 1928, the Lee County Board of Education passed a motion to erect a consolidated first through twelfth grade school in Beulah. Beulah Academy, Pine Grove Academy, Marshall Lee, McCollum, Blanton, Mechanicsville, Frog Pond, and several other preexisting smaller schools were absorbed into the new Beulah School. Mr. Goodwin Williams of Beulah donated ten acres to the Board of Education for the all-brick facility, which cost roughly $40,000. Beulah High School was leveled in 1976 to make way for a modernized air-conditioned facility with lighted football fields and tennis courts on the same site.
