Grenada High School is a public high school located in Grenada, Mississippi, United States. It educates students in grades 9 through 12 and is the only high school in the Grenada School District.

History

The first public high school in Grenada was founded in the fall of 1885.[2]

In May 1962, alumnus Erle Johnston gave the commencement speech titled "The Practical Way to Maintain a Separate School System in Mississippi" in which he criticized the "extremism" of the NAACP and Citizens Councils.[3] After strong resistance, vicious attacks, and intimidation,[4] the school was integrated in 1966.[5][6]

In 2021 the school had a roughly equal number of African American and white students. 100 percent of the school's students were categorized as economically disadvantaged.[7]

Athletics

Grenada's athletic teams are the Chargers and compete in Mississippi High School Athletics Association 5A Region 1.[8]
