West Broad Street School

West Broad Street School was a public school for African Americans founded in 1891, in Athens, Georgia, United States.

[1][2] The Clarke County Board of Education has been in ongoing discussion about the future of this former campus since 2016, with mention of proposed demolition in order to build a low income early childhood education program at the site.

[6][7] In 1893 the Baxter Street School was remodeled and used for white students.

[8] The West Broad Street School land was purchased by the school district in 1891, and the earliest building was completed in 1893, which was presumably demolished later for overcrowding.

James Albert Bray served as the principal from 1902 until 1903, while he also worked as a pastor at Trinity CME Church in Augusta, Georgia.
