Hart County Training School was established in 1924 for the education of African-American children and was partially funded by the Rosenwald School Building Program, which matched funds from philanthropist Julius Rosenwald with community donations to build schools for African Americans during the era of segregation. It was one of several African-American schools in Hart County at the time and an early example of the public consolidated school system, which allowed multiple grades to be housed in one facility. Rebuilt in 1955 as an equalization school as part of a statewide effort to improve school buildings and preserve segregation, it became the only public school for black students in Hart County. In 1970, the county integrated the school system, and the school was renamed Hart County Junior High School.
