The New MissionReverend Dougherty's educational endeavors continued to flourish even as he left the "Old Mission" behind and started his new mission, Grove Hill School. His insistence on bi-lingual education separated Grove Hill from Government and other Church run boarding schools of the time—the involvement of parents also places Grove Hill in a class of its own. Learn more at the Omena Historical Society blog.
