East Depot High School, constructed in 1923, began in 1866 as LaGrange Academy. It provided education for African-Americans in LaGrange and produced many outstanding alumni with careers in education, business, law, medicine, religion, science, the arts, government, and the Armed Forces. The school closed in 1970 when it merged into LaGrange High School, and graduates always remember their pride in "The Wolverines" and the dedicated service of the educators.
