Dermott High School is an accredited public high school located in the community of Dermott, Arkansas, United States. It is the only high school administered by the Dermott School District and is one of two public high schools based in Chicot County, Arkansas. The school has just over 200 students, in grades 7 through 12.
History
In summer 1885, Dermott established its first public white school, which was used in the winter as a black school. After its first year, various buildings were used until 1908 when the current school system was established including a new elementary school.[1] The original 1908 brick building was used until 1976.[2]
In 1889, Isaac George Bailey co-founded a school for African Americans in Dermott. It was succeeded by Morris-Booker High School and Memorial College. Chicot County High School was a segregated high school for African Americans in the county. It closed with desegregation. Nobel Leftwich had served as its principal.[3] As part of a series of retrospective painting of Dermott, Larry D. Alexander painted Chicot County High School.
