When the high school existed they were the lions. This is NOT the Black School, the Allen-White High School, that use to be north of here. This was the high school for the rest of the kids.
This town is over 60% African-American in population so the Allen-White school was the biggest.
This high school closed, I do not know when, and when I asked the library supervisor, she skirted the question and talked about the black school and black funeral home.
When open the mascot was the lion. School was built in 1931, and not sure when it closed, but façade was restored in 2011
