History

By 1963 the board of education had ruled that African-American students should attend high schools which previously did not admit children of their race.[5]

In 1999 the school district voted to find a method of having the Ten Commandments legally displayed on district properties which would hold up under legal challenges; the proposal had displaying the Ten Commandments with other historical documents.[6]
