Hebert High School. Carol T. Taylor Mitchell, who once taught as a science teacher at the school circa 1970, described its facilities as inferior to those of the mostly white Austin Junior High School. Charlton-Pollard consolidated with
Beaumont High School to form
Beaumont Charlton-Pollard High School in 1975. The merger happened since
Joe J. Fisher, a U.S. district judge, asked Beaumont ISD to speedily desegregate. The Charlton-Pollard High School Alumni Association exists. Bettye Duplantier, of the class of 1963, is the president of the association. ==Notable alumni==
