Carlisle Military School
SC Methodists began an institution on this site in
1892 naming it Carlisle Fitting School, for James H.
Carlisle, president of Wofford College 1875-1902.
It served as a coeducational preparatory institution
for Wofford. Col. James F. Risher (1889-1973) leased
Carlisle in 1932 and purchased it 1938, renaming it
Carlisle Military School by 1943.
It educated young men from the US and many
countries until closing in 1977.
