This school lies in the historically significant area once known as New Spring Place, so named by Moravian missionaries who traveled with the Cherokees across the Trail of Tears into Indian Territory. It was named after Spring Place in Georgia, where Moravians first taught Cherokee students using Sequoyah's syllabary as a basis.
