History
History
The first public high school in Grenada was founded in the fall of 1885. In May 1962, alumnus Erle Johnston gave the commencement speech titled "The Practical Way to Maintain a Separate School System in Mississippi" in which he criticized the "extremism" of the NAACP and Citizens Councils. After strong resistance, vicious attacks, and intimidation, the school was integrated in 1966. In 2022 the school had a roughly equal number of African American and white students. 67 percent of the school's students were categorized as economically disadvantaged.
