For many years Miss Ruby's School was the only educational facility available to African-American children living on Pawley's Island, SC. Miss Ruby's school was formed about 1902. The school was named Holy Cross-Faith Memorial School. After the original structure burned, a replacement was built at the current location around 1930. Ruby Middleton Forsythe (Miss Ruby) began teaching at the school around 1937. She taught at this school for more than half a century (1937-1991).
