J.F. Boddie was a former African-American school in Milledgeville.
History
Boddie opened in 1956[1] as a replacement for Carver High. Boddie was named for Julian Franklin Boddie, a local educator.[2]
Carver High had moved into a new building in 1949, one which was hurriedly built to replace the previous Carver building and Eddy, a private school. Both had been destroyed by fire in a two-year period.[3] While under construction, the Baldwin County school system realized it was inadequate for elementary and high school needs.[3]
In 1952, the Baldwin County school system unveiled its school building and improvement plans, which included a project then known as "New Carver High School".[4]
Boddie was converted to a junior high in 1970.[5]
