Historic Myrtle Beach Colored School Museum & Education Center

Historic Myrtle Beach Colored School Museum & Education Center

The Myrtle Beach Colored School served African-American students in the Myrtle Beach area for more than 20 years.

Now, an Historic Myrtle Beach Colored School Museum and Education Center provides a window on that past, as well as a door to the future for all.

Thanks to leadership from the City of Myrtle Beach, vision from former students and a partnership among public and private entities, the old school has been preserved in spirit and recreated in fact and continues to fulfill an educational mission.

The need for the Myrtle Beach Colored School was eliminated in 1953 with the opening of Carver Training School.
