Robert F. Munroe Day School

Robert F. Munroe Day School is a K-12 private school in Gadsden County, Florida, which was opened as a segregation academy in 1970.

History
As in many public school districts in the Southern United States, Gadsden County officials delayed their compliance with the U.S. Supreme Court's 1954 order to end segregation in public schools. In 1965, the first Black students began attending previously all-white schools in county schools. That same year, groups of white parents began organizing private schools, dubbed segregation academies, to keep their children from being educated alongside black students. One such group came together in 1968; the following year, the board incorporated a non-profit organization to launch what was to be called Gadsden Day School. Founding board member Robert Fraser Munroe died before the school opened its doors, and the remaining members renamed their segregation academy to honor his work in creating it.

In 1970, the school began operations with grades 1 through 12 under headmaster S.M. Eubanks. The day kindergarten Quincy campus opened in 1977.
