William Henry Lanier
1851-1929
|
|
| Lanier High School takes its name from that of the late, distinguished W.H. Lanier, a former President of Alcorn College and the first Supervisor of Jackson Colored Public Schools. Lanier was born a slave in Huntsville, Alabama in 1851. He attended Tougaloo College, Oberlin College and Fisk University and received his B.A. degree from Roger Williams University. He served as president of Alcorn A&M for six years. Lanier taught school in Forest, Winona, Black Hawk, Carrollton, Yazoo City and Jackson. He was principal of the Robertson School from 1912-1929.
Lanier was first organized as a junior-senior high school in 1925 providing instruction for pupils from the seventh through the twelfth grades. A new chapter was added to our history when, on February 8, 1954, we transferred from the old Lanier at 136 East Ash Street and occupied the new Lanier Junior-Senior High School building at 833 West Maple Street. On January 27, 1972, the United States Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ordered that Lanier School be designated as a center for the enrollment of 10th, 11th, and 12th grade students. In 1991, 9th grade students were added to the enrollment. |

Dr. Aaron Shirley, founder of the Jackson Medical Mall, is an ardent supporter of the Lanier Alumni. Dr. Shirley continues his support of the Alumni’s efforts in the Georgetown community and mentorship proposal. He offered the help of his summer staff of 53 kids for mentorship and to provide us access to the Health Clinic facilities at the school. Dr. Shirley provided invaluable information and insight into educational and other issues faced by Lanier today.

This first printing of the Lanier Hi-Lites explains the purpose and goals of our Association, along with the benefits of membership.
Please note that on the Internet and website, we will use LHSNAA to identify The Lanier High School National Alumni Association located at 833 W. Maple Street in Jackson, MS to eliminate confusion around all the Lanier High School websites. Later, we will roll out the Alumni’s logo and motto to help in this identification. (more…)
