Attala County Training School

Opened in 1925, the Attala County Training School stood here and provided vocational education for African American students. Built mainly with local labor and funds, the school also received assistance from the Rosenwald Fund. James Meredith, a native of Attala County, once attended the school. In 1951, as part of Mississippi's school equalization efforts, Tipton High and Elementary were built here. Tipton High School, whose mascot was the Bobcats, closed in 1970 when Kosciusko's schools were fully integrated.
