Eureka School (Hattiesburg, Mississippi)

Eureka School was a historically Black school located in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Established sometime in the late 19th or early 20th century, it served the African American community during a period of racial segregation. Details regarding its precise founding date, curriculum, and the specific grades it served are somewhat scarce, although it is generally understood to have provided elementary and possibly some secondary education.

Like many Black schools in the Jim Crow South, Eureka School often faced challenges related to funding, resources, and infrastructure compared to white schools. Despite these obstacles, it played a vital role in providing educational opportunities to African American children in the Hattiesburg area.

Information regarding the school's closure or consolidation is not readily available. It is likely that with desegregation efforts in the latter half of the 20th century, Eureka School was either closed or integrated into the larger Hattiesburg school system. Further research, including local historical archives and community records, would be necessary to provide a more complete history of Eureka School.
