Great School, lots of Pride!!!
The fact that this school isn't just about sports. It's about academics.
Education for Blacks in Ouachita Parish began officially at the end of the Civil War (1865). Many former slaves began efforts to teach themselves to read and write. Many churches sponsored "Sunday Schools" to teach reading and writing with the bible as the textbook. In 1867 nearly 800 former slaves combined their revenues to purchase a piece of land on the corner of 8th and Washington. They erected a small building there and began what was known as the "Wisner School." While many locals attended the Wisner School the Rosenwald Foundations helped establish many schools in the rural areas of the parish and there were several community based attempts to educate black youth. At the turn of the century there was push to build a "Negro" public school that met resistance from the local Klan. Many churches that promoted the building of the new school, paid for the tax dollars, were burned mysteriously. The new school was built; it was called 'Monroe Colored High." In 1953 it was moved to Renwick Street and renamed Caroll high School. Parish schools were maintained in both east and West Ouachita and in rural areas of the parish, but segregated, just as they were in Monroe. Civil rights suits and federal court orders forced desegregation in the two systems while local blacks continue to fight for quality education in the parish.
