Dubois High School
An African American high school formed in 1917, it educated black Fayette County children until 1956. Students were taught in community buildings and churches, 1950-1954, after the school was destroyed by fire. The second DuBois High School opened in 1054 but was integrated two years later when Mt. Hope white students were brought in and school was renamed Mt. Hope High School.
