Mary M. Bethune High School
Halifax County – One of the 53 sites along the Civil Rights in Education Heritage Trail®. In 1920 the four original buildings were torn down and a new building was erected to house African American high school students; the school was newly called Halifax Training School. Later it was upgraded and renamed the Mary M. Bethune High School. By 1950 it was the state’s largest rural high school for Blacks.
