In 2022 the district plans to consolidate the two high schools into a single school. The two were previously athletic rivals.[2] The athletic rivalry had been in place in the preceding decades.[3]

Mac Gordon, a former newspaper employee from McComb, Mississippi who wrote an editorial for The Clarion Ledger, described the consolidation as "stunning news" considering that it involves two high schools with "sound" performance in academic parameters, in "progressive communities with much pride" in these institutions.[4] The consolidated facility will be known as Simpson County High School.[5] In February 2022 the district proposed a bond for $39 million for the new high school; if passed, the art and sports facilities would open at the same time the new high school opens.[6] Voters rejected the bond.[7]
