The Sherman Line Rosenwald School was established in 1928 to educate black youth in the Sherman community from Pike and Amite counties. The Julius Rosenwald Fund provided partial funding for the school, and local community leaders donated the land. Constructed at a cost of $3,800, the school originally enrolled 137 students ranging in age from 5 to 20. Its first trustees were Gabriel Carter, James Carter, and Albert Mason. The school closed in 1932 and was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.
