Alexander High School was a historically black, public secondary school in rural Oktibbeha County, Mississippi.

History

Alexander served as a high school for black students until the public schools were integrated in 1970, after which it was technically integrated, although very few white students ever attended. It was later combined with Moor High School to form East Oktibbeha High School on the same site. Eventually, the Mississippi Legislature forced the Oktibbeha County School District to merge with the predominantly white Starkville School District to become the Starkville Oktibbeha Consolidated School District.^[1]
