A two story school building was constructed and dedicated on this site in 1932 as Hahira High School, replacing an earlier school building that had burned down, on land donated by Bishop Nelson. Later additions of an auditorium and classroom wing completed the structure in the shape of an “H.” Pine Grove High School merged with Hahira High School for the 1959-1960 school year on this campus. With the opening of the new consolidated Lowndes High School on St. Augustine Road in 1966, this facility became home to Hahira Junior High School. In its last year as a high school, it saw the end of segregation. With additional buildings constructed on this site in 1970, it also housed Hahira Elementary School until 1994, when the new elementary school was opened on Claudia Drive. Hahira Middle School occupied these facilities until additions and renovations were completed in 2000 across Highway 122. In 2003, the 1970 structures were removed with plans to convert the old high school building into a museum or offices for the Hahira Historical Society, but before that happened, fire again claimed the historic school building. It was completely destroyed by fire in the early morning hours of Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2004.
