Love High School

Bremond, Robertson County

Marker Text

T.W. Parker founded Bremond Colored High School in 1920 to educate young African Americans in the Bremond area. Professor Charles Love, principal from 1925-1965, played such an integral part in the school by preparing the students that it was renamed in his honor in the 1940s. The original campus, which no longer exists, housed six classrooms, an agriculture building, a small auditorium, and a cafeteria manned by volunteer students. At a time when official segregation limited opportunities for young African Americans, the school focused on vocational and agricultural training. Love high school closed in 1965 and its students integrated with nearby Bremond High School.
