Box 1: Private and Parochial\u00a0Schools- St.Joe, Greenville Christian, Leland Academy, King\u2019s Daughters Hospital (nursing school)\"school1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Leland Academy, 1971-1974<\/p>\n

Greenville Christian School, 1973<\/p>\n

Greenville\u00a0Christian\u00a0School\u00a0was formulated in the minds of concerned Christian parents from\u00a0Christ\u00a0Wesleyan Methodist\u00a0Church. The school opened in late August, 1969, at the the Greenville Hotel with thirty-seven students in grades one through nine.\u00a0In 1972, the new facility at Highway 1 south was completed, and the fall class began. The school grew rapidly, and increased enrollment necessitated additional classrooms.\u00a0<\/em>
\nSince 1983, four new classrooms have been added, an athletic\/training building has been constructed and a large science complex has been completed.\u00a0The school is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Mississippi Private School Asscociation.<\/em><\/p>\n

St.\u00a0 Joseph School \u201cShield\u201d,\u00a0 1963, 1968, 1983, 1985, 1986<\/p>\n

The first organized parish school in Greenville opened in October of 1888. St. Rose of Lima Academy was opened under the leadership of Father P. J. Korstenbrock and was staffed by the Sisters of Mercy. The school that the sisters opened began a rich tradition of excellent education in the Delta area, one that is still strong after 116 years.\u00a0Within three years, facilities were added to accommodate boarding students from nearby plantations.<\/em>
\nIn 1948, due to the increasing enrollment and deteriorating condition of the Academy building, work began on a new building. Originally designed to educate 400 students, St. Joseph School was dedicated in May of 1950.\u00a0As Catholic education flourished in the early 1960\u2019s, enrollment continued to rise. As a result of this increase, St. Joseph Catholic Church initiated the construction of Our Lady of Lourdes Elementary School, which opened on East Reed Road in 1964. After kindergarten through sixth grade moved to Lourdes, the building on Golf Street (now known as St. Joseph High School) provided students in grades 7-12 with a quality Catholic education. February 2005 welcomed a new, larger building and location for St. Joseph High School<\/em><\/p>\n

Box 3: Coleman High School
\nThe \u201cColemanite,\u201d 1952-1954, 1956-1959, 1962-1964<\/p>\n

\u00a0Named for Lizzie W. Coleman, who was principal of the No. 2 Elementary School. Coleman High School was among the first high schools for African-Americans in the Mississippi Delta. The school served as Greenville\u2019s main high school for African-Americans until 1970. First located on Nelson Street, the school moved to Cleveland Street in 1922. The present school, designed by architect N. W. Overstreet, was built here in 1952.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

In response to a community need for a local college preparatory school, Washington School was established in the spring of 1969.School began in September, 1970, with a staff of twenty- three faculty members and 323 students. Classes were held in the\u00a0present elementary building with the east side used for elementary students and the west side for secondary students.\u00a0Much has changed since the school\u2019s inception. Today Washington\u00a0School has an enrollment of over 900 students with a faculty of over 60 members.<\/em><\/p>\n

Greenville established its first public school in 1866, the year the city was rebuilt after its destruction during the Civil War. Since a separate municipal school district was created in 1884, it has been served by only fourteen superintendents, all recognized for their educational leadership and innovation.\u00a0In Mississippi, the Greenville system instituted the first science labs in 1888, the first schools system-furnished textbooks in 1890, the first physical education department in 1899, and the first public school kindergarten and the first art department in 1905.\u00a0In 1992, Greenville High School conducted its 100th graduation, the most of any public school in the state.<\/em>
\n\u00a0Currently under the leadership of Superintendent Leeson M. Taylor II, \u00a0Ed.D., the Greenville Public School District enrolls approximately 5,800 students and ranks second among municipal school districts in the state in pupil population.\u00a0The district operates 7 neighborhood elementary schools (K-5), two middle schools (6-8), and one high school located on two campus sites (9-12), a countywide vocational technical complex, and an alternative school.\u00a0Greenville was one of the earliest districts to be accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). The entire district continues to be fully accredited by SACS. All schools in the district are accredited by the Mississippi State Department of Education.<\/em><\/p>\n
