Description

Spencer High School, located at 4340 Victory Drive in Columbus, Georgia, was established on November 29, 1930, by the Columbus Public Schools as the first African American high school in Columbus. The school was named in honor of Dr. William Henry Spencer. It is the only high school in Columbus to have ever been at 3 locations.HistorySpencer High School was the first African American school in Columbus.The first Spencer High School was built on 10th Avenue at 8th Street. This building remained until it was destroyed by fire. The building was the home of Marshall Junior High School until it burned.The second Spencer High School, relocated in 1953, was located at 1830 Shepherd Drive (now Marshall Middle School). The Shepherd Drive location was designated as the high school where all the military dependent students from neighboring Fort Benning would attend after the 5th Circuit Court's 1971 desegregation order was handed down. In the past, Fort Benning agreed that it would never build a high school on the military reservation and would send their high school age children to either Baker High (children of enlisted personnel were bussed here) or Columbus High (children whose parents were officers were bussed here). In essence, desegregation of Spencer High was accomplished with the reallocation of military dependents from Fort Benning with a minimum of non-minority students from outlying Columbus neighborhoods to achieve racial equality.In 1978 the Muscogee County School Board voted to close Spencer High School and move the students to a new high school located at 4340 Victory Drive on the Fort Benning military reservation. The name of this new high school was to be the Southwest High School and its colors were to be blue and white. Incidentally, blue and white were the school colors for the recently closed Baker High School about a mile west of the current Spencer High campus.
