Greensboro High School

Greensboro High School was a public high school in Greensboro, Florida. It was a part of Gadsden County Public Schools

According to Headley J. White, author of the 2006 PhD thesis "Effects of Desegregation on Gadsden County, Florida Public Schools 1968-1972," in post-desegregation Gadsden County, there was no stigma applied against white students who attended Greensboro High, while white students in other Gadsden County public schools experienced this stigma.[1]

West Gadsden High School, established in 2004, absorbed students who formerly attended Chattahoochee High School and Greensboro High School.[2] Brian Miller of the Tallahassee Democrat stated that the high school mergers damaged the school athletic spirit in the county as the former school identities were discarded.[3]

The former Greensboro High campus was used for several years as the site of West Gadsden High;[4][5] it now houses Greensboro Elementary School.[6]
