    St. Emma Military Academy opened in 1895 and was known for its cannery, farming, equipment repair, engineering, accounting, and management trades. It was second to the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University according to one of the sources I listed.

    (This is what it looked like before they demolished all the buildings.) The only building left is the white one in the picture gallery. It's currently used by Nuns on occasion.
    The military academy closed in 1972.

    The military academy on the other hilltop was St. Francis de Sales which closed two years prior. They were both commonly refered to as "Castles."
