Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:School infobox
Brookhaven High School is in Brookhaven, Mississippi. It is part of the Brookhaven School District.[1] All of the students are categorized as economically disadvantaged. The student body is about 2/3 African American and 1/3 white.[2] Classes are fairly segregated and the district allows a parental choice plan for parents to choose their teachers.[3][4] The school district is under a 1970 desegregation order.[5]
Panthers are the school mascot and the school colors are red and blue.[6] It has a football team.[7]
In 1900 G. L. Teat served as principal of Brookhaven City School.[8] B. T. Schumpert was the principal in 1912.[9][10] C. H. Lipsey also served as principal.[11] A middle school in Brookhaven is named for him.
Black families boycotted local white-owned businesses after the school moved to hire as athletic director and football coach Hollis Rutter who had worked at segregation academia.[12]
Supporters of the parental choice plan argue it keeps white families in the districts public schools.[5] Lawrence County Academy was a segregation academy in the area after desegregation and Brookhaven Academy is a current one. U.S. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith attended Lawrence County Academy[13] and sent her daughter to Brookhaven Academy.[14][15]
