Industrialist and philanthropist John J. Eagan donated the land for the school, provided the school was named after his uncle, the late William A. Russell a Confederate general. After Eagan's father died, Russell gave financial and spiritual support to three-month-old John Eagan and his mother (Russell's sister). The school closed in 1988 when it was combined with Headland High School (East Point), College Park High School (College Park) and Hapeville High School (Hapeville) to form Tri-Cities High School.[1] At the time of its closing, Russell was the oldest school in the Fulton County system. The schools were merged due to declining populations, and the aging of the communities as North Fulton was exploding with growth at the time.
