Attucks High School is a former school in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, built in 1916. It was Hopkinsville's first public school for black students and was converted to an integrated middle school in 1967,[2] the Attucks Middle School or simply Attucks School,[1] before being shut down in 1988.[3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.[1] It is at 712 1st Street.

The school was built partially from brick reclaimed from a former school, the Clay Street School. It was designed by architect John T. Waller and was built by the Forbes Manufacturing Company in a somewhat Italian Renaissance style, at a cost of $17,640.[4] The listing includes two contributing buildings.[1]
