The Bealsville community was established by freed slaves. Prior to 1933 school was held in a church. In 1933, with no funds forthcoming from the School District of Hillsborough County for a school to educate Black children, the community raised $900 to build the William Glover Negro School. In 1940, students sold produce to earn enough money to add a library.[2][3] In 1947, the school board approved drilling a new well to replace one that was contaminated.[4] In 1954, along with Pinecrest High School and Plant City High School, the school operated an on-campus strawberry canning facility that was open to the public.[5]
