History
It was originally known as Wilmington Normal School when it was organized by a group of eight Protestant missionaries from New England who were sponsored by the American Missionary Association.[3] It was a high school-level school that sought to prepare its students for studying in colleges and universities elsewhere.
It was renamed the Gregory Normal Institute in 1883 in honor of James J. H. Gregory of Marblehead, Massachusetts, who made a substantial donation to the school's operations.[3][4]
In 1921, the classes ceased at this site.[3] The Gregory Congregational Church (now Gregory Congregational United) that stood next to the school is still active.[3][2] A public elementary school located a few blocks away from the former site is named the Gregory School.[3]
