Шаблон:Infobox NRHP Garnet High School, also known as Garnet Career Center and Garnet Adult Education Center, is a historic African-American high school in Charleston, West Virginia. The school was established when "twelve African-American students in Kanawha County passed an entrance examination for high school level course work."[1] It was named after Henry Highland Garnet, a former slave who became the United States' ambassador to Liberia.[1] It is a three-story, brick structure, constructed in 1928-29 from the plans of the prestigious Charleston architectural firm of Warne, Tucker, Silling and Hutchison, and dedicated December 2 to 4, 1929. The façade features a limestone-arched entrance containing two sets of double doors, transom light, and a limestone tympanum. Garnet was one of three high schools in the Kanawha Valley built for African-American students. It closed as a high school in 1956, following integration of the public schools,[1] but has been used as a public resource building since that time.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[3]
Oscar Holmes (1916–2001) graduated from this school and became the first African-American Naval Aviator and air traffic controller.[4][5][6]
