The school was established in 1970 as a segregation academy.[2] The school has always sought to prepare its graduates for college. Over the years, the school has grown to include preschool, primary, and secondary education from 3K–12. FoundationsMagnolia Heights School was founded by Nat G. Troutt, encouraged by a group of citizens who felt the need for alternative education in the Tate county area. In the school's first session in 1970–71, 233 students attended with the first senior class graduating fifteen students on the front campus of the school. School enrollment in the 2015-16 year was 628. In grades 1-12, 5 of 584 strudens were black.[1] The school was part of a wave of segregation academies that opened after the court ordered desegregation of Mississippi public schools.[2] In 1978 Magnolia Heights began its kindergarten program. It received accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, becoming the first northwest Mississippi private school accredited and one of the first statewide. By 1981 the curriculum had evolved to put more emphasis on preparation for college. A rotating class schedule, a scheme in which the same classes occur at different times of the day, follows the college pattern.
