The school was started in 1905 as Hardeman County Training School, a school for African Americans that held classes in a Masonic lodge building. The school was led by Jessie C. Allen, who is one of the two men that Allen-White School was later named for. Circa 1918–1920, the school's own building was built on donated land with a $4000 bank loan obtained by the school's trustees, matched by a $4000 donation from the Julius Rosenwald Fund.[2][3] The school's second namesake, J.H. White, became school principal in the 1928-1929 school year. In 1930 the school added a junior high school program and in 1932 it expanded to include the four grades of high school. The school's first high school class graduated in 1933.[2][5] Allen-White was Hardeman County's only high school for African Americans and enrolled students from throughout the county; some students boarded in Whiteville in order to attend.[3][4] After it closed as a school, the building was acquired by an organization associated with the El Canaan Missionary Baptist Church.[5] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[6] It was destroyed in an arson fire in May 2012.[5] Alumni of the school hoped to rebuild it and contracted with an engineering company to investigate the feasibility of reconstruction.[3] References1. ^{{NRISref|version=2010a}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://digital.mtsu.edu/cdm/compoundobject/collection/p15838coll4/id/92/rec/6 |title=Allen-White's History |type=Notes for a school reunion, circa 1980s}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.bulletintimesnews.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3390:allen-white-high-school-more-than-75-years-worth-of-history-will-never-be-destroyed&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=44 |title=Allen-White High School: More than 75 years worth of history will never be destroyed |first=Jennifer |last=Smeltser |date=December 12, 2012 |newspaper= Bolivar Bulletin-Times}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://hardemancountytn.com/government/cities-towns/whiteville.php |title=Whiteville|publisher=Hardeman County Chamber of Commerce |accessdate=January 23, 2014}} 5. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://digital.mtsu.edu/cdm/compoundobject/collection/p15838coll4/id/80/rec/1 |title=Allen-White School: correspondence regarding historic registers |type=metadata |publisher=Middle Tennessee State University }} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://digital.mtsu.edu/cdm/compoundobject/collection/p15838coll4/id/80/rec/1 |title=Letter to Reverend Guy Hendree |first=Herbert L. |last=Harper |publisher=Tennessee Historical Commission |date=November 28, 2005}} External links
