Summerton High School
Last of the five remaining schools named in the 1949 petition that was the basis for Briggs v. Elliot, the court case dealing with segregated schools and "Separate But Equal" education in South Carolina. This case led directly to the landmark Supreme Court decision ordering desegregation in Brown v. Board of Education. The school is currently a state of the art meeting facility that seats 300-400 people.
