Originally founded in 1923 as the black County Training School at Smyrna, Tennessee, the school was moved to McKenzie in 1927 and named Webb High School in honor of John L. Webb. With over 1900 alumni, and under the leadership of J. L. Seets and T. A. Warford, it had a national impact in developing black leadership. In 1965, Webb High School, the only Negro school in Carroll County, merged with McKenzie High School.
