This page is offered by LVHS in cooperation with the “Save Brookvale History Committee” (SBHC), an independent citizens’ group seeking to preserve and share history, stories, and memorabilia of Lancaster’s former segregated Black high school and its students, and to encourage thoughtful community planning about the building’s future.
LVHS and SBHC thank everyone who has provided research or materials for this digital archive, including the Committee’s own members, LVHS staff and volunteers, the Kilmarnock Museum/Carroll Lee Ashburn, Brookvale alumni, and many others in the community.
