Attala County Training School

Tipton's story did not end when integration closed the school in 1970. That summer, school photographs and trophies were reportedly left by the roadside and in dumpsters. Alumni kept the record themselves. Since 1987 they have held a reunion every three years, and the twelfth drew more than three hundred former students. By 2018 the alumni organization had applied for state historic landmark recognition, was drafting a national application and was negotiating with the city to take over the old building, which hosts weddings, church events and community meetings.
