Dr. R. Moton High School was a segregated high school for black students in Brooksville, Florida, United States. The Herndando County school was integrated after passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the local school board was eventually pressed to eliminate segregation in the school system. In 1969 Moton's older students and football players were moved to Hernando High School. Moton closed and the rest of the student body moved to Hernando in the fall of 1969.[1][2][3]
