An African American high school formed in 1917 educated black Fayette County children until 1956. After the school was destroyed by fire, students were taught in community buildings and churches from 1950 to 1954. The second DuBois High School opened in 1954, but it was integrated two years later when Mt. Hope white students were brought in and the school was renamed Mt. Hope High School.
