Summerton High School, also known as Summerton Middle School, is a historic school building located at Summerton, Clarendon County, South Carolina. It was built in 1936, and is a one-story hip roofed, rectangular brick building. It has a central pavilion featuring a pedimented gable, supported by four cast stone plasters. Summerton High School is the only school still standing of the five schools in Clarendon County School District #22 that were associated with Briggs v. Elliott, the South Carolina case which was one of the cases consolidated with Brown v. Board of Education.[2][3] As of 2022 the building is used as administrative offices for Clarendon County School District #1.
It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[1] In 2022 it and the former Scott’s Branch High School were designated part of Brown v. Board of Education National Historical Park.[4]
