History

Dothan High School was built in 1911 and was first located on Burdeshaw Street. It was one of the most modern high schools in the state. When this school opened, the state required only three years of high school, but Dothan High went to a four-year curriculum in 1912. The George S. Houston Memorial Library is now on the former site of the Burdeshaw High School. In 1942 this building was torn down and an elementary school was built on the site and named for Minnie T. Heard. The existing Dothan High facility on South Oates Street was built in 1939.
