Attucks High School is a former school in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, built in 1916. It was Hopkinsville's first public school for black students and was converted to an integrated middle school in 1967,[1] the Attucks Middle School or simply Attucks School, before being shut down in 1988.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013. It is at 712 1st Street.
The school was built partially from brick reclaimed from a former school, the Clay Street School. It was designed by architect John T. Waller and was built by the Forbes Manufacturing Company in a somewhat Italian Renaissance style, at a cost of $17,640.[3] The listing includes two contributing buildings.
