College Park High School (Georgia)

Cox College was a private women's college located in College Park, Georgia that operated from 1842 to 1934. Cox College was originally called LaGrange Female Seminary in 1842 when it opened in LaGrange, Georgia. It changed names several times: to LaGrange Collegiate Seminary for Young Ladies in 1850, Southern and Western Female College in 1852, Southern Female College in 1854; and finally to Cox College by the 1890s. Part of the school moved to East Point, Georgia in the 1890s, however the main institution moved to Manchester, Georgia in 1895, which renamed itself College Park in 1896. By 1913 it was sometimes referred to as Cox College and Conservatory. It closed several times, including ten years between 1923 and 1933. It reopened one more time in 1933, but closed for a final time in 1934. Cox College’s closure effectively rendered the name of College Park a misnomer.

Students moved to schools nearby for the 1970 school year, including the previously all-white College Park High School. The site was repurposed as a middle school until 1980, and currently houses the College Park Elementary School. The school's basketball team, the Bearcats, won a state championship in 1969. Donald Dollar was the coach. The team competed in the Georgia Interscholastic Association. A report was published on identifying students with special needs at the school in 1965.
