The school of Chernogorovo was founded in 1850 and in 1938 was moved to the current edifice. The local cultural center, known in Bulgarian as a chitalishte, was established in 1928 and was named after the Bulgarian national hero and poet Hristo Botev. The current edifice was constructed in 1958–1960. The chitalishte has a library and maintains a local amateur folklore group.[4]
