Mr A M STrange Mr. J. H. Moseley Mr, J ,Wi Addison sky FORMER PRINCIPALS HISTORY There was a Time when noT much ThoughT was given To The proper moral, religious, indusTrial and liTerary Training Tor people oT The Negro race. ln l924, The ciTizen- ship oT Coahoma CounTy reached The conclusion ThaT, The more inTelligenT The Tarmer, The more saTisTacTory ciTizen he makes. Thus, our presenT insTiTuTion, The Coahoma CounTy AgriculTural High School came inTo being. Coahoma CounTy, Mississippi, is in The hearT oT The greaT Mississippi DelTa. The school is locaTed Tour miles norTh oT The CiTy oT Clarksdale, The counTy siTe, on The Friars PoinT-Clarksdale Highway. lT is in The geographical cenTer oT The counTy surrounded on all sides by planTaTions, Thickly populaTed wiTh our Tarmers. The loca- Tion is ideal, very producTive and seldom muddy. The school sysTem has been approved by The STaTe DeparTmenT oT EducaTion, Jackson, Mississippi, and The Federal Board oT VocaTional EducaTion, WashingTon, D. C., and is The pride oT every colored ciTizen in Coahoma CounTy. The school opened iTs doors wiTh A. M. STrange as The TirsT principal. ln I927, under The Principalship oT J. H. Moseley, The school progressed rapidly. During The adminisTraTion oT Principal J. W. Addison The school Tor The TirsT Time gave Teachers an opporTuniTy, Through The Summer CrediT School, To earn crediTs Towards high school graduaTion. The insTrucTion was oT The highesT order and many were richly rewarded Tor Their TaiThTul sTudy. lT was during This, The adminisTraTion oT SuperinTendenT J. B. WrighT, ThaT The Coahoma CounTy AgriculTural High School reached iTs peak and was given iTs ac- crediTmenT along wiTh The Tew oTher accrediTed high schools oT The sTaTe. A well planned 'program was ouTlined and a band compleTe wiTh uniTorm and equipmenT was organized. The school was Tar-reaching and moved To greaT heighTs oT deTer- minaTion To keep pace wiTh The ever-advancing sTandards oT excellence. ln I946 wiTh SuperinTendenT B. F. McLaurin aT The helm, The aims Tor which The school was esTablished have been broughT To our minds and we are sTriving under his guidance To have The school aTTain These: TirsT, To Teach selT-reliance: second, To give an opporTuniTy Tor a high school educaTion To every Negro boy and girl in Coahoma CounTyg Third, To Train These boys and girls Tor more eTTicienT ciTizen- shipg TourTh, To supply The need Tor inTelligenT Tarmersg and TiTTh, To develop and Train Teachers Tor primary and iunior schools. SuperinTendenT McLaurin is receiving Tavorable commenT in reclaiming many oT The sTrongesT principles oT The school. WiTh a deTiniTe program Tor The school, The curriculum revised To meeT sTaTe re- quiremenTs and needs oT Negro boys and girls, marked progress is seen. New courses have been added wiTh special aTTenTion given To healTh and music. An opporTuniTy Tor The men who served in The Armed Forces To conTinue Their Training is given Through a well organized VeTeran School. -5.-. Mr. J. B. WrighT
