By 1922, African American students in the Clinton community, renamed Galena Park in 1936, attended a school near the corner of E and Main Streets. By the early 1930s, a building formerly used for White students was moved to the Fidelity addition, an area of Clinton named for the Fidelity Shipyard, and Black students were redirected there to Fidelity School, which housed eight grades. As African Americans continued to move into Galena Park, the school hired additional teachers and added classrooms. By 1947, Fidelity School had ten classrooms, a library, office, band room, softball field, and bus parking area. In 1950, Fidelity School added high school courses, and the new grades, along with continued population growth, led to the separation of the school into different levels. The Galena Park Independent School District ordered two buildings, and Fidelity Manor High School opened in 1955, with Fidelity Manor Elementary School opening nearby in 1956. Fidelity Manor High School students excelled in academics and extracurricular activities and won district and state championships in several sports, and its noted alumni included educators, military veterans, and political leaders. In 1970, desegregation led to the closing of both schools as students were integrated into the Galena Park school system. Although the two buildings were razed in 1986, the Fidelity Manor Schools continued to be remembered as institutions that provided an invaluable education for African American students in this community for nearly 50 years.
