Schools
Myrtle Beach Colored School
Formally the only school in the Myrtle Beach area for African American students, the Myrtle Beach Colored School shines a light on the past and future for education. Though not in full service today, the Colored School is now known as the Myrtle Beach Colored School Museum and Education Center and is used as an educational tool to allow those coming through the opportunity to learn about the school and its surrounding history.
Loris School/Loris Training School
Funded in part by the Julius Rosenwald Foundation, the Loris School was one of the first Black schools that children could attend in the Loris area. The school closed when desegregation happened and now serves as a historical marker for the reminder of the struggles during that time when it came to education.
Green Sea School
School in the Horry County district.
Winyah High School
With its classical revival style of build and beautiful auditorium, the Winyah School, now known as the Winyah Graded and High School is a sight to be seen. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its preservation and use today.
Whittemore School
The Whittemore School was the first Black school in Horry County, with some traveling an hour by road to be able to finish high school and go onto college.
