Humphrey
High School
Coleman,
Texas
Even though this website
primarily concentrates
on Coleman High School,
I have included Humphrey
High School.
This was the Negro School in Coleman
which integrated with
Coleman High School
in the fall of 1965.
I do not have a list of
the students who attended
there, as no records are available today,
but I am including
obituaries of those deceased
as they are located.
