February 18, 1971 — A milestone moment in our history! ✨

Fifty five years ago today, the Articles of Incorporation for the Sandhills Independent School Corporation were officially signed, and filed just days later on February 22. With that signature, it was full steam ahead to open Wallace O’Neal Day School that fall.

We’re proud to honor the vision and dedication of the original 14 member Board of Trustees whose leadership set O’Neal’s foundation:
Edward T. Taws, Jr., Robert C. Fisher, A.B. Hardee, Mrs. William P. Davis, Warwick Fay Neville, Mrs. Mary Toerge, Mrs. William R. Bonsal, III, Dr. Charles W. Lowry, Mrs. Robert S. Ewing, William Durward P. Grady, Mrs. Robert L. Huffines, Jr., Capt. Asbury Coward, III, Dr. Cecil H. Neville, Jr., and Earl Hubbard.
Thanks to their commitment in 1971, we’re here in 2026 celebrating 65 incredible years of learning, leadership, and Falcon pride.
