Tate's School 

The year was 1968 when Tate’s School, operating from a local church, first began teaching. Aside from the family’s two daughters, which later became three daughters, and several children from the congregation, the school began with a handful of students. To get the word out about the school, LouL and Joe would put the two girls in their car seats after dinner and drive area neighborhoods putting flyers in mailboxes. It wasn’t long before Tate’s School began to flourish.

A team of fully credentialed teachers, state accreditation, eager students, involved parents, caring staff, challenging curriculum, art, music, three saltwater swimming pools, library, open-air classrooms, teaching garden, athletic and dining hall, driving range, fabrication lab, playgrounds, pond, and other amenities all blend together to create an environment of inspiration and positive challenges where children are taught how to excel and what it means to have character. Tate’s School is the realization of educational excellence that LouL imagined from the beginning – and dedicated a lifetime to bring into existence.
