Staley High School should link here
A. S. Staley High School was a school for African American students in Americus, Georgia.[1][2][3][4] It was the last segregated high school in Americus when it graduated its last class in 1968. It was named in honor of Rev. Alfred Samuel Staley, an educator who served as principal of the school for African Americans that preceded it, McCay Hill School.[5][6]
It was one of 16 distinguished schools for blacks selected to participate in a Rockefeller Foundation study. South Carolina's Museum of Education featured the school in an exhibition.[7] The school primarily taught manual and domestic education. Anthony's High School for whites was constructed about the same time.
Daniel T. Grant served as the school's principal and wrote his autobiography When the Melon is Ripe about his experiences. He instituted the school's band program.[6]
