Desegregation Brian Miller of the Tallahassee Democrat stated that the high school mergers damaged the school athletic spirit in the county as the former school identities were discarded.
According to Headley J. White, author of the 2006 PhD thesis "Effects of Desegregation on Gadsden County, Florida Public Schools 1968-1972," in post-desegregation Gadsden County, there was no stigma applied against white students who attended Greensboro High, while white students in other Gadsden County public schools experienced this stigma.
