Founded in 1937 by parents, Cleveland First Baptist Church, and community leaders to provide an education for children of Chinese descent who were excluded from area schools by the 1927 US Supreme Court decision, Gong Lum v. Rice. Students in grades 1-12 were instructed in English and Chinese. Enrollment declined by WWII, as Chinese began to be admitted to area schools. The school closed in 1951. The building continued as the Chinese Baptist Church, and was demolished in 2003.
