historical marker at school site

(From the March 14, 2007 issue)
Chattahoochee County made history a few years ago by building a new school building to “bring the high school home,” but local residents are now gearing up to celebrate the unveiling of a historic marker at the site of the previous high school.
The former school, known as “Cusseta High School,” was located on Broad Street at the site of the present Kasihta Commons
Doug Purcell, executive director of the Historic Chattahoochee Commission of Georgia and Alabama, which serves an 18-county area, will be the special guest speaker for the dedication ceremony. Chattahoochee County School Superintendent Dalton Oliver is also scheduled to speak.
In 1922 the county’s small elementary schools (Big Sandy, Liberty Hill, Renfroe, and Providence) were consolidated with the new school. All of the high schools were also consolidated there in 1929.
The school was used until 1969 when it burned to the ground the night before the school year was to begin the first year of integration. Chattahoochee County high school students attended school outside of the county at other schools (most recently Spencer High in Columbus) until a few years ago when the new school was built at 360 Georgia Highway 26.
