History
Humphreys Academy was established in 1968 as a segregation academy[1][2] and is a member of the Mississippi Association of Independent Schools. In 1969, $160,000 was raised in three weeks to purchase a facility in Silver City. In 1970, an additional $180,000 was raised to build a metal building in Belzoni which included 16 classrooms.[3] In 1970, the IRS revoked Humphreys Academy's tax exempt status because of its racially discriminatory admissions policies.[2]
As of 2016, the school's students were 99% white, while Humphreys County was 75% black.[4]
The school athletic teams are nicknamed the Rebels.
