School History

Shiloh School served African-American students in Rutherford County until 1967 when the facility was renamed Daniel McKee School. From 1967 until the early 1990s, the school served special education students. When the special education students were instead sent to their zoned school for inclusion and special education services there, Daniel McKee was reinvented once again as the county’s first alternative school.
