Year Minimum Foundation building program completed 1955. Screven County consolidated its African American schools into four centers with its building project. Arnett (in the Double Heads community), Central, Annie E. Daniels (Millhaven area) and Southside (Newington). Central, located in Sylvania city, became the lone high school. Had it gone according to plan, Central would not have been in this building. In 1949, Screven County voters approved a $300,000 bond issue, which created the white Screven County High (in a new building), built two gyms and was to give Screven County Training's elementary school a new building. Before that new elementary could be opened, the high school built at SCT burned on March 29, 1950. The county's solution, announced in the Aug. 11, 1950 Sylvania Telephone, was to cram the students into the new elementary and move in some old army barracks. The fire might have worked out better for Central than having the old building. Locally-funded new school buildings tended to be built for the now instead of the future. The State School Building Authority-built schools, those erected under the Minimum Foundation Program, studied population trends to determine size, plus, since those for Black students were built to delay integration, were better equipped than any local efforts.

Year of total integration 1970.
