AFRICAN AMERICAN SCHOOL BUILDING REVIVAL
Allen Parish Training School
Allen Parish
Allen Parish Training School originally opened in 1926 serving African American students in Oakdale in connection with the neighboring church. Sometime in the 1940s, the school was renamed Allen High School. Although today the reason for its demolition is unknown, a historical marker stands in front of the original building footprint to memorialize its legacy.
