Charlton-Pollard High School was a segregated high school for black students, [1] operated by the Beaumont Independent School District. The school colors were blue and white, and the mascot was the bulldog. [2] It was located in the South End area, [3] in proximity to an oil refinery. [4]
Named after two people, it opened in 1900. [2] Its main athletic rival was Hebert High School. [3] Carol T. Taylor Mitchell, who once taught as a science teacher at the school circa 1970, described its facilities as inferior to those of the mostly white Austin Junior High School. [4]
Charlton-Pollard consolidated with Beaumont High School to form Beaumont Charlton-Pollard High School in 1975. [2] The merger happened since Joe J. Fisher, a U.S. district judge, asked Beaumont ISD to speedily desegregate. [1]
The Charlton-Pollard High School Alumni Association exists. As of 2017 [update] Bettye Duplantier, of the class of 1963, is the president of the association. [3]
