The school was re-named in honor of Mr. Hutto and his widow Addie became principal. By her efforts a matching grant from the Rosenwald Fund was obtained to build a high school on the site. Grade 11 was added in 1928. Accreditation came in 1929 with the name Hutto High School. After 52 years of service Addie Hutto retired in 1942 and William Mann succeeded her. Grade 12 was added in 1953. Hutto High graduated its last class in 1970. Later that year Hutto High combined with Bainbridge High and this facility became Hutto Junior High. In 1990 it became Hutto Middle School.

Decatur County School Superintendent Tim Cochran is try to change Hutto High School colors, mascot, and erase the history of this school. This school is a historical site and marker and therefore I feel like the law of the land and the historical committee should step up to preserve our history of this school and what he is doing is racial. I thought that historical landmark and building are supposed to stay the way they are and be preserved, with that being said that mean the color, mascot and the name. This was a school that was build for the color back in 1895 and it was called Bainbridge Colored Grade School. In 1929 the name was changed to Hutto High School. I feel like they are trying to erase our history.
