History

Delano Middleton, a student at Wilkinson High School, was one of those killed in the Orangeburg Massacre.
Orangeburg-Wilkinson High School was formed with the merger of Orangeburg High School and Wilkinson High School in 1971.
Rivalry between Bloods gang members and Folk Nation members escalated into a fight that lead to three students being shot and wounded on the school campus on Aug. 18, 2021; a 14-year-old male shot the students on the front lawn area of the school, and was later charged in adult court with three counts of attempted murder.

Media appearances

In 2016, the school was featured in the six-part BBC documentary series Segregated America: A School in the South.
