Humphrey High School
Coleman, Texas
Even though this website primarily concentrates
on Coleman High School,
I have included Humphrey High School.
This was the Negro School in Coleman
which integrated with Coleman High School
in the fall of 1965.
I do not have a list of the students who attended
there, as no records are available today,
but I am including obituaries of those deceased
as they are located.
