There was a community known as Sunnyside about 9 miles above Whitwell, close to the Sequatchie County line. The school there was known as New Hope Academy and eventually become New Hope Pres. Church.

I think the New Hope Academy may have been right near the Sequatchie/Marion line. >From page 55 of the following link I surmise that the academy may have existed as a private instution up until 1909 when a private act of Sequatchie county made it a public school. Then in 1911 that 1909 act was repealed perhaps making it a private school again. A thorough reading of those two Sequatchie county acts might clarify what was happening. http://tinyurl.com/3eajmk I also ran across an article somewhere that said J. H. Lassiter taught at Sam Houston Academy in Jasper in the 1870's.

>From a similar link for the private acts of Marion County (page 74), it appears that the school was originally established by an 1855-56 private act of Marion County and was originally called the Sequatchie Valley Academy. The 1909 act is mentioned again and says that the school name was changed and a New Hope Independent School district established by the 1909 private act of Marion county.
