Howard Junior High School, weiterführende Schule in den Vereinigten Staaten
Howard Junior High School is a single-story wood structure built around 1924 to 1925 with four classrooms and large windows arranged in rows. The building sits on a brick pier foundation and was expanded with two additional classrooms in the 1930s.
The school was built from 1924 to 1925 with funding from the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide education to Black children during segregation. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006, recognizing the role of Rosenwald Schools in American educational history.
The school is also called Shiloh School and sits on land that once belonged to the Shiloh African Methodist Episcopal Church. This location carries a long history of learning and community gathering that remains part of local memory today.
The building is privately owned today and not open to the public, but it remains visible from the street and can be observed from outside. Visitors interested in architecture and history can explore the exterior of the structure.
The school was designed following specific plans developed by the Rosenwald Fund, with local donations and taxes matching the funding. This partnership enabled the construction of about 500 schools across South Carolina alone.
