History
The site of the Gibsland-Coleman Complex is the same location as Coleman College, an African American segregated secondary school and the first African American institution for higher learning in North Louisiana.[3] In 1937, Coleman College closed due to the Great Depression and the campus was sold to the Bienville School District.[3]
It was re-opened as "Gibsland Colored High School", a segregated African American public secondary school (and was later known as Coleman High School).[3] John Sherman Campbell (1897–1976), a noted educator, wildlife manager, conservationist, served as the principal from 1935 to 1938.[4]
In 1970, the school was renamed Gibsland–Coleman High School, after full integration with the segregated all-white Gibsland High School.Шаблон:Citation needed
