Historical Highway Marker Dedication: East End High School U-43
2022-06-25 10:00 - 12:00 | East End Hight School, 365 Dockery Road, South Hill, VA, 23970, United States
East End High School
East End High School opened near this location in Sept. 1953 to serve African American students during the segregation era. Mecklenburg County built the school with a grant from the Battle Fund, established under Gov. John S. Battle as Virginia’s first program for providing direct aid to localities for school construction. Students came from Mecklenburg County Training School, the Thyne Institute, and other schools in the eastern portion of the county. E. N. Taliaferro was East End’s only principal. The last class graduated on 5 June 1969. Mecklenburg County schools were fully desegregated that fall under a federal court order, and the building became a junior high.Sponsor: East End High School Historical Highway Marker Committee
