Humphreys County High School

Humphreys County High School (HCHS) is a public senior high school in Belzoni, Mississippi, United States and a part of the Humphreys County School District.

The attendance boundary of the school district, and therefore the school's attendance boundary, is all of Humphreys County.[1]

History

After the school integrated racially (sometime around 1970), black students had protested against verbal abuse used against black students by the principal, a white person; white teachers giving failing grades to black students; and the calling of black students "nigger" and "nigra".[2]
