Holmes County Central High School is a senior high school in unincorporated Holmes County, Mississippi, United States, about Шаблон:Convert south of Lexington.[1] A part of the Holmes County School District,[2] it occupies the former J.J. McClain High School.[3] The mascot is the jaguar,[4] and it serves grades 9Шаблон:Ndash12.[5]

Шаблон:Asof the school had about 760 students, with 99% of them being African-American.[5]

History

It opened in 2015 and was the consolidation of the high school sectors of Jacob Joshua McClain High School, S.V. Marshall High School, and Williams-Sullivan High School.[4] The school district attempted to pass a bond to build a consolidated high school in August 2013, but it was voted down.[6]

Stanford University Graduate School of Education Center to Support Excellence in Teaching (CSET) stated that "Despite concerns by some in the community, the merging of the high schools has been a success."[5]

In March 2018 the newly elected Holmes County school board voted to move high school students in Durant High School to Holmes County Central High, an action opposed by area residents.[7] Due to the consolidation, the district again sought a new building for its consolidated high school. Шаблон:Asof it is considering acquiring a former factory, which would only need $20 million to be renovated into a high school.[6]

Academic performance

In 2015 about 66% of incoming 9th graders had reading scores below their intended grade levels.[8]
