History
editIn 1928, the school was built to educate Mars Hill's African-American children.
It served Madison County and portions of Yancey County from 1928 to 1965, when it closed as a result of North Carolina's school integration. It is one of only two surviving Rosenwald schools in the state's westernmost region, and was restored between 2009 and 2019.
In 2018, it was inscribed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1][2]
