Description

Robert Lee Madison (1867–1954), the school's founder, served as principal of Cullowhee High School from 1889 until 1912. From 1920-1923, he headed Cullowhee Normal and Industrial School as president. In 1893 Madison persuaded Jackson County’s state house representative, Walter E. Moore, to secure state appropriations for the school, no doubt, contributing to its longevity. Two campus buildings were eventually named for him.
