The Cusseta Industrial High School, located at 113 Sandy Street, Cusseta, Chattahoochee County, Georgia, was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on April 15, 2011. The property owner, the Chattahoochee County Historic Preservation Society, Inc., sponsored the nomination and prepared the nomination materials.
The Cusseta Industrial High School is important as an excellent example of an early 20th-century African American school constructed with the support of the Rosenwald Fund. In Georgia, the first Rosenwald schools were built in 1915. The majority of the state's 242 Rosenwald schools were built during the mid-1920s. The Cusseta school is among the best surviving examples of the roughly 50 existing Rosenwald schools in Georgia that have been identified by ongoing research and fieldwork. It was constructed from 1929 to 1930 at a cost of $2,973 with the county government contributing $1,973; the black community $250; and the Rosenwald Fund $750. In addition to the school building, the ten-acre campus included a playground, active garden, and privies for boys and girls. The curriculum included English, science, social studies, music, home economics, and typing. In 1958, the Cusseta school closed when a new school for African Americans opened in Chattahoochee County.
