Concord Rosenwald School
MOUNT ENTERPRISE (RUSK COUNTY)
Completed in 1925 with support from the Julius Rosenwald School Building Program, the Concord School served as the only modern and functional educational facility for Black students in the surrounding rural communities.
The school closed in 1971 following the integration of local schools and remained largely vacant until 2008, when the Concord High School Alumni Association acquired the building with plans for its rehabilitation. Years of deferred maintenance and storm damage had left the structure in critical condition. Water infiltration had severely compromised the roof, walls, floors, and foundation, rendering the building unsafe.
