Washington Street School

Washington Street School was established in 1889 under the Covington City School system. The old building burned in 1939, and for two years students and faculty met in Black churches. In 1941 a new brick schoolhouse was completed, and the name and traditions remained the same. In 1947 the city and county school systems consolidated. In 1955 the Washington Street High School faculty and students moved to R. L. Cousins School. In 1971 the Washington Street Grammar School closed. In 1979 Washington Street Community Center, Inc. was organized.
