Dates: -1966
Named for:
Post-GIA: North Summerville Elementary
Historical Average Daily Attendance:
Notes: A.C. Carter saw itself enmeshed in controversy in 1956. Georgia attorney general Eugene Cook attempted to halt a game between Carter and Hill of Lafayette, citing the "separate but equal rule" to keep the teams off Summerville High's football field. He cited this rule despite neither Hill nor Carter having a separate field, much less an equal one. Carter's projected attendance is given here, despite the school totally integrating in 1966 and ceasing to exist as a high school.
