Deep into Pungo, a one-room schoolhouse surrounded by farmland stands just steps away from traffic speeding by on Princess Anne Road. The schoolhouse is a study in tidy lines. Steps lead up to a red door set into a small, white, gabled building. Inside, two rows of child-sized desks proceed from a metal stove and stove pipe at the back of the room to a slate chalkboard and teacher’s desk at the front. The flag features a neat grid of 48 stars. Six windows, three on each side, allow natural light to enter.
