Louis L. Redding Comprehensive High School opened in 1953 and served African American students in grades 1-12 in the Middletown area. It replaced the smaller Middletown School 120-C, a three-room wood structure on East Lake Street. The school was named for Louis L. Redding, known for his work challenging segregation laws in the state. In 1969, after the Middletown, Odessa, and Townsend School Districts merged to create the new and desegregated Appoquinimink School District, the school became Louis L. Redding Intermediate School and later Louis L. Redding Middle School.
