'''Booker City High School''' was a high school for African American students in the northern part of [[Alabama]] which was created in [[Booker City]] in [[1902]] by the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church. The high school was expanded to secondary education and re-chartered as [[Miles Memorial College]] in [[1905]]. In [[1907]] the [[Tennessee Coal Iron & Railroad Company]] (TCI) purchased the Booker City Campus for $30,000 and 30 acres in their newly-planned industrial city of [[Fairfield|Corey]]. TCI demolished the school buildings and built the [[Docena]] mining community in the former Booker City.
