Charleston High School is a public high school in Charleston, Mississippi, United States.
In addition to Charleston it serves Tippo. [4] [5]
In 1999 there was $100,000 spent for a laboratory for biology classes. [6]
The school held its first racially integrated prom in April 2008, [7] which was the subject of the 2008 HBO documentary Prom Night in Mississippi. The documentary focused on the school and the efforts to have a mixed prom instead of segregated proms, with one for whites and the other for blacks.
In 2010, the graduation rate was 68.8%. [8] [9] The school district is considered to be "at risk of failing" by the No Child Left Behind standards. [10]
