Шаблон:Infobox NRHP The Allen-White School, also known as Hardeman County Training School, was a Rosenwald school in Whiteville, Tennessee, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Description

The school was started in 1905 as Hardeman County Training School, a school for African Americans that held classes in a Masonic lodge building. The school was led by Jessie C. Allen, who is one of the two men that Allen-White School was later named for. Circa 1918–1920, the school's own building was built on donated land with a $4000 bank loan obtained by the school's trustees, matched by a $4000 donation from the Julius Rosenwald Fund.[1][2]

The school's second namesake, J.H. White, became school principal in the 1928–1929 school year. In 1930 the school added a junior high school program and in 1932 it expanded to include the four grades of high school. The school's first high school class graduated in 1933.[1][3] Allen-White was Hardeman County's only high school for African Americans and enrolled students from throughout the county; some students boarded in Whiteville in order to attend.[3][4]

After it closed as a school, the building was acquired by an organization associated with the El Canaan Missionary Baptist Church.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[5] It was destroyed in an arson fire in May 2012.[2] Alumni of the school hoped to rebuild it and contracted with an engineering company to investigate the feasibility of reconstruction.[3]
