- Description:
- Cameron School, located in Calhoun County, prior to the 1968-69 school year. The school, which is predominantly white, experienced full staff resignation once it was announced that Black students would attend. Calhoun County School District Two operates Cameron School. Many white students have left to attend Wade Hampton Academy and it is uncertain if the school will open for the upcoming school year. The S.C. Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) issued guidelines requiring the school to accept more Black students, which resulted in the mass resignations.
