The property of the school was donated by the black inhabitants of Pomonkey in 1922, following World War I.[1] At the time, the poor and isolated community only had a one-room school for African Americans.[1] The school opened in 1958, where it became the first all-African American high school in Charles County.[1] From 1966 to 1969, it began to be integrated with the all white schools, Henry E. Lackey High School and La Plata High School.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
