West Rome High School

[1] Its school colors were kelly green, white, and silver.

West Rome High was located where a Sam's Club stands now.

[citation needed] West Rome High was a segregated all-white school until the Rome schools effected a desegregation plan in the late 1960s, transferring the students at all-black Main High School to West Rome and East Rome over a period of three years and closing Main High by 1970.

That state record was tied in 2010 by Buford High School.

[5] Three West Rome players later played in the NFL, including Eric Floyd.
