Langston Elementary School should redirect here
Langston High School served African American students in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Alumni include Ike Thomas, Mamie Phipps Clark and Edith Mae Irby.
It was established in 1913, the first high school for African Americans in Hot Springs. The school colors were gold and blue. It had its last graduating class in 1968 and was made into an elementary school as the school district became integrated. The Langston High School building was eventually torn down.[1]
It was preceded by Rugg Street School which burned in 1913.[2] Langston became a Jr. Sr. high school. It was accredited in 1950.[2] Mathematics teacher Johnnie Belle Henderson was its last principal.[3]
Its footbal team played against Dunbar High School from Little Rock, Arkansas. Future NFL hall of famer Bobby Mitchell was a star on the team. He recalled being inspired by professional African American athletes visiting Hot Springs.[4] Recoding industry star Harry Glover of King Records graduated from Langston in 1939. In 2021 a Hot Springs Park was dedicated to him[5]
The state archives of Arkansas have a 1928 yearbook from the high school.[6]
