Sam Houston High School under construction, 1955. The Sam Houston High, the African American high school in Huntsville was built on the western outskirts of Huntsville in 1954-1955. The school replaced the aging high school building that was built in the Rogersville neighborhood in 1931 which had been cited as substandard in an evaluation by the Southern School Association in 1951. After the Huntsville Independent School District was integrated in 1968-69 the building became Mance Park Junior High. The building was razed in the 1980s and Huntsville Intermediate School was built on the site. | Source: Walker County TreasuresDownload Original File
