School memories from former students & members of the community
​
"Home Economics was one of my favorites, Mrs. Thompson would have the class make rolls and she would have me knead them. I remember my teachers Mrs. Clara Davis and my 7th Grade teacher Mrs. Greene."
Marion Thomas, Class of 1959
"I remember playing on the monkey bars."
Shirley Ann Jennings
"In 1931, my father (Walter Brookens) drove the first school bus to pick up students for the Coosa County Training School. He was the first Black school bus driver in Coosa County."
Mrs. Cora Brookens Edwards
"I enjoyed Field Day, I did the high jump event. Mrs. Hassie Thompson taught cooking and sewing, we made dresses in her class for a fashion show and she had the students cook food for P.T.A. and Teacher meetings."

Mrs. Dorothy Goggans Kelley, Class of 1957
"Plaiting the May Pole was a memorable event for me."
