Chicot County Training School

Unfortunately, this historic Rosenwald school collapsed in 2020, but it was an important landmark in Chicot County. This was a 1929 Craftsman-style structure built with assistance of the Rosenwald Fund.  It was part of Julius Rosenwald's legacy as the foremost benefactor to Negro education in the South. The building was last used as a public school in 1975, when the campus was the city’s elementary and high school. After the building was no longer used as a public school, it was acquired by the Morris-Booker Memorial College Board and was used for various purposes, including a Head Start facility.
