Never before in the history of Atlanta Public
Schools had any school been named in honor of
a living African American male until in September
1981, when the Atlanta Board of Education, at the
urging of the late Henrietta Canty, State Represen-
tative and PTSA President, and the late Superin-
tendent Dr. Alonzo A. Crim, the newly constructed
building at 3450 Benjamin E. Mays Drive SW, was
AMAYSINGHISTORY OF
BENJAMIN E. MAYS HIGH SCHOOL
name. Some community leaders wanted the
school’s name to remain Southwest High School
since it was supposedly built to replace the old
Southwest High School, now Jean Childs Young
Middle School. After the dust settled, rising from
the sunset, atop a picturesque mountain, Benja-
min Elijah Mays High School was borne. Dr. Mays
could see the school from his home’s office. Much
to Dr. Mays’ delight, a permanent structure was
now in place that would forever honor his tireless
work.
Thomas E. Wood, Jr., served for one year as
principal, 1981-1982; Dr. Rubye D. McClendon suc-
ceeded Wood and served an eleven-year stretch,
from 1982 to 1993; and Ronald ‘Ron’ E. Brown
served for nine years, 1993 to 2002. Dr. Tyronne
Martin Smith took the helm in August 2002. The
school has been fortunate to have a continuous
line of renowned and effective leaders.
Built at a cost of $23 million, the school’s mag-
net program of Science and Mathematics was de-
signed to draw students from throughout the City
of Atlanta who were interested in college prepara-
tory work specifically in Science and Mathematics.
Mays High School, built on Atlanta’s southwest
side, to rival Northside High School’s academic
programs. A grant of $3,006,836.00 was received
from the Georgia General Assembly to assist the
Atlanta Board of Education in construction cost.
Representative Canty was instrumental in secur-
ing the grant.
Present at the groundbreaking ceremony were
Dr. Benjamin Elijah Mays, President of the Atlanta
Board of Education, Mrs. June Cofer, Vice President
of the Atlanta Board of Education, and the follow-
ing School Board members: Mrs. Margaret Griggs,
Reverend Preston Williams, Mrs. Angela Loan-
nides, Mrs. Ann Woodward, Mr. Richard Raymer,
Dr. Asa Yancey and Mrs. Carolyn Crowder. Many of
the same 10 persons attended the school’s dedi-
cation ceremony.
The school sits on 70.35 acres of prime real
named in honor of Dr. Benjamin E. Mays, a hu-
manitarian, educator, and international pioneer in
‘Negro Education.’ Groundbreaking for the school’s
construction took place on Monday, November 14,
1977 at 1:00 P.M. The building was completed in
August 1981 and was officially opened in a Sun-
day ceremony on September 27, 198l. Initially,
there was much debate about the new school’s
estate, and has 310,369 square feet of working
space. The school sits approximately 9/10 of a
mile from the street (Benjamin E. Mays Drive) just
across Interstate 285. There is not an access or
exit to Interstate 285 on Benjamin E. Mays Drive.
The mountainous landform has an abundance of
wild life. Confirmed spotted wildlife includes deer,
turkeys, raccoons, opossums, squirrels, wood
ducks, rare geese, snakes, geckos, alligators, rab-
bits, wild boars, owls, bald eagles, falcons, sala-
manders, domestic and exotic fishes, armadillos,
coyotes, and gray and red foxes. This area is one
of the few remaining green areas and wetlands left
in the City of Atlanta. It is rapidly dwindling due to
nonstop commercial and housing development.
The architects and contractors responsible for
constructing the school included FIRMS, Finch,
Alexander, Barnes, Rothschild and Paschal, and
Edward C. Miller and Associates. The engineering
was Polytech, Inc. from Houston, Texas. Herman
J. Russell (HJ Russell Construction Company)
played a vital role in the school’s construction.
The land was purchased from Joel Montgomery
on February 12, 1969 for an undisclosed price.
Thirty years later and with an academic foun-
dation as solid as the rock of Gibraltar, Benjamin
E. Mays High School is a beckon of light atop a
mountain in Southwest Atlanta. Envied by those
who cannot attend,
cherished by those
who do, and loved
by it graduates, Ben-
jamin Elijah Mays
High School is the
flagship institution
in the City of Atlanta
Public School Sys-
tem.
Dear ole Mays
High, to thee we give
praises above all the
rest!
