History


West Point was served by Lynch High School in the early 20th century. The school burned in 1928 and was replaced by West Point High School in 1929. In 1953, the high school was moved to its current location. The old high school became Central School and served 5th and 6th graders until its closing in 2018. West Point High School merged with West Point Colored High School when the district integrated. During the 1990’s, plans were made to build a new high school building and gym. The full project was completed in 1995. That building now serves as the North Campus, with the original building being the South Campus. In 2015, West Point School District consolidated with Clay County School District. With the closing of West Clay High School, about 20 years prior, West Point High School served as the secondary school for both districts.
