North Greenville University was originally founded as a high school at the end of the 19th century by a local Baptist association. Next, NGu became a junior college and finally transitioned into a four-year-university.

In honor of Thanksgiving and upcoming graduation, let�s look back and be thankful for how much NGU has grown and changed over the years into the university we have now. Here is a picture of the very first graduating class of North Greenville High School in 1902 and the first graduating class of North Greenville Baptist Academy and Junior College in 1936.
