Hicks Fort Junior High School after former Muscogee County School District Board chairperson and judge of the Chattahoochee Judicial Circuit. Judge Fort was a member of the Board of Education from 1910 until 1941, serving as the chairman from 1924 until 1941.<\/p>\n<p>Judge Fort\u2019s family was gracious enough to bequest the land for the construction of the school.\u00a0 Under the leadership of Principal Dr. Riddle, Assistant Principals Mr. Paul D.
