A dedication ceremony was held at the George Fish School Monument at 401 Steele Street on August 31, 2008.  Duke Energy granted the easement to the George Fish School committee to erect its monument of this historic site.  The dedication was in tribute commemorating the teachers of the all black school, which was built in 1925, with its last graduating class in 1968.

Rev. Phillip F. Cargile, Sr., pastor of First Born Church in Rock Hill delivered the invocation.  Rev. Cargile, a Fort Mill resident and visionary who pioneered the efforts of the Alumni, worked closely with Duke Energy in securing the site.
