Pembroke Academy was incorporated on June 25, 1818, as a private school, and on May 25, 1819, the first building was dedicated. The academy opened with 48 students on May 26, 1819, and the first headmaster was Reverend Amos Burnham.[1] In its early years Pembroke Academy prepared many students for attendance at Dartmouth College.[2]
