History

In summer 1885, Dermott established its first public white school, which was used in the winter as a black school. After its first year, various buildings were used until 1908 when the current school system was established including a new elementary school. [3] The original 1908 brick building was used until 1976. [4]

In 1889, Isaac George Bailey co-founded a school for African Americans in Dermott. It was succeeded by Morris-Booker High School and Memorial College. Chicot County High School was a segregated high school for African Americans in the county. It closed with desegregation. Nobel Leftwich had served as its principal. [5] As part of a series of retrospective painting of Dermott, Larry D. Alexander painted Chicot County High School.
