Historical Marker
Elementary and High School
Fullerton, Vernon County · Louisiana
Fullerton's company planned two schools for 500 pupils each: a graded public school for white children and a separate school for Black children, built beside a church at about 38 by 80 feet. In 1910 the teachers on record were F. Neal at the white school and Allen Price at the Black school; the 1920 census listed six women teachers. Housing was divided the same way. Black employees lived in 108 to 144 three-room cottages on a knoll northeast of the mill, while white families had five- and seven-room cottages with bathrooms.
