From 1949 to 1963, Otis Lee Walker was the principal of the school, which was central to the community of College Station. It was originally a single-room white frame building located in the main red-dirt road called Route 2 in Pulaski County. Route 2 is now known as Frazier Pike. Initially the school provided K-8 education, but during the 50s the higher grades of 7 and above were switched to Sweet Home, under the principalship of David Lyons who worked collaboratively with Otis Walker. Two additional frame buildings were added to the original location of the school providing for a cafeteria to accommodate school lunches and a space for school programs. A major fire of unknown origins destroyed much of the school during the late 1950s. The new facility was constructed at the current school location of 4710 Frazier Pike, Little Rock, Arkansas. Shortly after court-mandated integration in the late 1960s, the black residents of College Station established a "boycott school" known as the Freedom School in protest of a busing plan. This school had an enrollment of 300, but existed for only two weeks.<ref name="eoaPSM">{{cite web|title=Private School Movement|url=http://m.encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/detail/?entryID=9384|website=Encyclopedia of Arkansas|accessdate=January 8, 2018}}</ref>
