The Main High School, at 41 Washington Dr. in Rome, Georgia, also known as Main Colored School, was built in 1934. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. The listing included seven contributing buildings on 15 acres (6.1 ha).[1]

It is a school campus built for Rome's African-American students. It is located on the north side of the Etowah River east of downtown Rome.

It includes the Main High School building, built in 1934, and a number of International Style buildings built in the 1950s and 1960s to accommodate growth.

Desegregation of public schools in Rome was accomplished during 1966 to 1969, and in 1969 the Main High School was closed.[2]
