Gibsland–Coleman High School, also known as Gibsland-Coleman Complex, is a K-12 public school in Gibsland, Louisiana, United States. It is a part of the Bienville Parish School Board.[2] It previously was named "Gibsland Colored High School", and Coleman High School.
The Gibsland–Coleman High School receives Title 1 funding. In 2020–2021, the school had a 90% minority enrollment, and is primary African American students.[3]
Gibsland–Coleman High School athletics competes in the LHSAA. Nearby public schools include Arcadia High School, Ringgold High School, and Castor High School.
The site of the Gibsland-Coleman Complex is the same location as Coleman College, an African American segregated secondary school and the first African American institution for higher learning in North Louisiana.[4] In 1937, Coleman College closed due to the Great Depression and the campus was sold to the Bienville School District.
It was re-opened as "Gibsland Colored High School", a segregated African American public secondary school (and was later known as Coleman High School). John Sherman Campbell (1897–1976), a noted educator, wildlife manager, conservationist, served as the principal from 1935 to 1938.[5]
In 1970, the school was renamed Gibsland–Coleman High School, after full integration with the segregated all-white Gibsland High School.
On February 7, 2014, a large marker was unveiled at the Gibsland–Coleman School Complex dedicated to Coleman College.
