In 1894 Ashland Board of Education assumed management of "Negro School," where African American William Reynolds was principal. In 1901 a bond issue passed with support of blacks and Superintendent J.G. Crabbe. School board then funded construction of the original two-story building; 8 grades opened 1903 as Booker T. Washington.

School's first two-year high school class graduated in 1925 and first four-year class in 1932. J.J. Rogers was principal of Booker T. Washington from 1903 to 1922; Charles B. Nuckolls followed and served from 1922 to 1962, when school closed due to desegregation.
