Hive History
Over 50 Years of Excellence in Education
Bids were taken on October 18, 1968, and the doors opened February 1971. Architect Rene C. Aybar designed the 80,000 square foot building. It has 24 general education rooms, 2 kindergarten rooms, facilities for art, music, physical education, and a cafeteria in the multi-purpose room. The staff spent the weekend moving into their new rooms. On Monday 800 students arrived carrying books and materials from their old schools (Prairieton, Pimento, Fuqua, and Maryland). The school is named after highway US 41. It was known as Dixie Highway because it took you to the southern states. Dixie Bee was renovated in 2007.
