Established under an act of the Alabama Legislature in 1907, Barbour County High School was built entirely by local initiative. It was completed in 1910 and first occupied in September of that year. Characterized consistently by dedicated and excellent faculties, it gave students vast educational advantages. From its halls departed thousands of educated, disciplined students prepared for careers and blessed by the institution. Last used as a school in 1961, the structure is now owned by the George C. Wallace Heritage Association and serves as a community center for the citizens of Clio.
