Around 1850, an academy was set up by the First Presbyterian Church (not the Mount Pleasant United Presbyterian Church) to provide education for boys beyond the elementary grades. It was headed by President James Coe and Secretary S. M. Templeton, and employed a staff of highly qualified teachers. It provided a good education - with moral and religious instruction - for boys only. Sometime around 1880, the school closed, and the building was used by the First Presbyterian Church as their church building, until it closed permanently.</div>
