Description
English: Front of Hahira High School historic plaque in front of the Hahira Middle School Baseball Field in Hahira, Lowndes County, Georgia

The plaque reads:

A two story school building was constructed and dedicated on this site in 1932 as the Hahira High School. It replaced an earlier school building that had burned down. Bishop Nelson donated the land for the school. Later additions of an auditorium and classroom wing completed the structure in the shape of an “H”. Pine Grove High School merged with Hahira High School for the 1959-1960 school year on this campus. With the opening of the new consolidated Lowndes High School on St. Augustine Road in 1966, this facility became home to the Hahira Junior High School. It made history in its last year as a high school with the end of school segregation. With additional buildings constructed on this site in 1970 it also housed the Hahira Elementary School until 1994 when the new Elementary School was opened on Claudia Drive. The Hahira Middle School occupied these facilities until additions and renovations were completed in 2000 across Highway 122. In 2003 the 1970 structures were removed with plans of converting the old High School building into a museum or offices for the Hahira Historical Society. Unfortunately before that became a reality, fire once again claimed a historical school building. The building was completely destroyed by fire in the early morning hours on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2004. Now only memories and old yearbooks remind us of the “good old days” and the belief that in life there are no lucky days; winners are workers with an aim. May God bless those who stop to read this memorial plaque. This is dedicated to all of the hardworking past, present and future educators of Hahira schools.
