The Harnett County Training School was originally a Colonial Revival structure built by Fayetteville's Player Construction Co. in 1922. It towered over the small homes along East Johnson Street and was a school for first through 11th-grade students. At the time, it was the only brick multi-story Black school in Harnett County.

Partially funded by Chicago philanthropist Julius Rosenwald, the school originally had facilities for 14 teachers. An expansion in 1927 increased student capacity, making it one of the largest Rosenwald schools in the state.

Other buildings were added as need arose, becoming locations for community sports and cultural activities. A gym was built in the late 1940s, with one-story additions added in the 1950s. A cafeteria was added in 1956. The Class of 1937 donated the cast stone panel above the door that bears the school's name.

In time, desegregation made the school unnecessary. The last high school graduating class left in 1968, though much of the building complex was used as a middle school until 1985.
