Around the time of racial integration, circa the 1960s, there had been plans to build a new consolidated Clarksdale-Coahoma County High School to serve all children in Coahoma County; plans were abandoned, even though the building was already constructed because the officials wanted to maintain segregation in a de facto manner.[4]
Many members of the American football team at the school transferred to Lee Academy as integration via court order was about to occur.[5]
