My dad attended the 'The Frenchburg Presbyterian College' in the 1940s, until he had to drop out when his dad passed while he was in the eighth grade. He took a mail order course to finish high school during the mid '60s.
I taught the first year Electronics course at my high school during the late '60s. I taught a night adult education class during my senior year. This was in SW Ohio, and that school no longer exists. I was working in a TV shop at 1, so I wasn't a typical student. I graduated in 1970.

I attended Berea College in the mid-90s, and they embrace education in Appalachia as a key part (but definitely not sole part) of their mission, even though they're technically only on the western fringe of the region. But I'm not sure such an institution could have survived in the early years deeper into Appalachia, honestly. Some others didn't.
