Lee Pickens]], a prominent African-American physician. The school opened in {{date needed}} and closed in {{date needed}}. It has been used by the [[Escambia County School District]] for storage of surplus equipment and materials. In [[2001]], school officials agreed to grant the building to a non-profit community arts organization, the [[Multi-Educational Cultural Center for the Arts]] (or MECCA), if the group could pay to relocate the contents of the building to a storage facility near the [[Hall Center]]. After a 90-day deadline, however, MECCA had not raised the necessary funds.<ref>"Hayne Street revitalization effort hits snag." ''Pensacola News Journal'', September 4, 2001.</ref>
