Construction was started in October 1999 and was completed in July 2000. The first classes in the new Schley County Middle/High School were conducted in August 2000. The addition of the new wing was started in September 2005 and was finished in March 2006. Mr. Robert Johnson Hill, a former Schley Countian and retired UGA professor, was the major financial contributor/donor to the building of the new wing. The new wing is named in honor of Mr. Hill's parents, Mervin Johnson Hill and Morris Crawford Hill.
