Sabine High School is locally significant under Criterion A in the areas of education and ethnic heritage because it provided very important educational opportunities for African Americans in Sabine Parish. First founded as the Sabine Parish Training School in 1928, the campus has a long history at its location on Highland Avenue. An eight teacher Rosenwald school served the African American community of Many and the surrounding parish for almost 40 years when the existing buildings were constructed in 1957. The new school, termed an equalization era school, provided a superb quality education for African American students, many of whom would go one to pursue undergraduate, masters, and doctorate degrees. The period of significance begins with 1957, the year the current buildings were first constructed, and ends with 1970, the year the school was desegregated.(Submitted on December 24, 2025, by James Hulse of Medina, Texas.)
