The Fairview School is listed on the Georgia Register of Historic Places, a designation awarded on August 26, 2016, by the National Register Review Board of Georgia’s Historic Preservation Division (HPD). While the building is not open daily, it is accessible to the public during special events.

Located in Cave Spring, the Fairview School was named a 2011 “Place in Peril” by The Georgia Trust in an effort to raise awareness and support for its preservation. Built around 1924, the school is one of the few surviving structures originally established to educate African American children in Georgia. Though much of its early history has been lost, the building stands as a powerful reminder of segregated education and its impact on the community.
