Sherman Line Rosenwald School

The Sherman Line Rosenwald School was established in 1928 for the education of black youth in the Sherman community from Pike and Amite counties. Partial funding for the school was provided by the Julius Rosenwald Fund, while the land was donated by local community leaders. Constructed at a cost of $3,800, the school's original enrollment was 137 students, ages 5 to 20. The school's first trustees were Gabriel Carter, James Carter and Albert Mason. Closed in 1932, it was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.
