Glover School, Historic school building in Bealsville, Florida.

Glover School is a historic school building in Bealsville, near Plant City, Florida. The site holds five historic buildings; the first was built in 1933 with USD 900 raised by the community. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Bealsville was founded in 1865 by freed slaves, and classes met in a church until 1933. That year residents raised USD $900 and secured land to build the school themselves, since the Hillsborough County school district would not provide one. In 1940 students sold produce to fund a library, and in 1947 the school board approved a new well to replace a contaminated one. The school closed in 1980 for lack of students.

The school takes its name from William Glover, and its story is one of self-help: Bealsville residents raised the money and land for the school themselves when the Hillsborough County district would not provide one. In 1940 students sold produce to fund a library, and in 1954 the campus ran a strawberry canning facility open to the public. The school closed in 1980 for lack of students.

The school closed in 1980 for lack of students, so it no longer runs programs; the site holds five historic buildings on Horton Road in Bealsville. Check with local heritage groups in Plant City before planning a visit, since access to the buildings is not guaranteed.

The structure received recognition from the National Register of Historic Places in 2001 under reference number 01001307. This designation celebrates its importance in Florida's educational story and African American heritage.
