Emanuel County Institute consists of two schools, a middle school for grades six through eight and a high school for grades nine through twelve. It serves the communities of Twin City, Canoochee, Garfield, and Stillmore. It was founded in 1903 through a joint effort by the citizens of Summit and Graymont. Contributions were collected, and a school bond was financed by eight private investors. This was the first school bond ever used to finance construction of a public school in Georgia. Progressive financing continued to be initiated by ECI as the first state funds for agriculture and home economics were used here in 1915.
