Hooper-Renwick School

After consolidation, there remained two newly built buildings that served all Black students in the county: Hooper-Renwick High School and Hull Elementary.

[7] Gwinnett County passed a bond in 1955 which funded $130,158 for the construction of the current 18-room Hooper-Renwick School Building.

Class offered to High School students included English, Literature, Math, Science, History, Government/Civics, Foreign Language, Home Economics, and Agriculture.

School desegregation plans were submitted to the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) and evaluated under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

[13] In 2015, the city of Lawrenceville purchased the property from GCPS with the intention of redeveloping it as part of the South Lawn project.

Alumni of the school began a preservation effort and, in March 2016, Greg Lott and Dorothy Maxey spoke at a Gwinnett County Commission meeting.

[14] It is the official organization charged with ensuring the preservation of the school, including the physical building and oral histories, and promoting recognition of its historical importance.

[15] In September 2017, the Committee and Gwinnett County Government agreed to preserve the existing 12-room school building.
