A number of 19th-century Cecil County schools are still standing these days, and one of those is the Jackson Hall School. Located on Jackson Hall Road, a short distance from Cowantown, this school was built in 1870. The second floor was used as a Sunday School and community meeting room. The first floor contained a large classroom, a coal bin, and a vestibule where wraps and a water bucket were kept.
Miss Billie M. Hayes taught here for 27 years. Other teachers were Ruth A Tuft; Helen Hasson; Emma Henderson; May West; Bertha Biddle; Edith Robinson; Nora Finley; Evelyn T. Kimble; Ethel Reynolds and Etta Bouchelle.
Although the classroom at this school has been quite for generations, it has survived in to the 21st century
