The Hawkinsville Public School, which has also been known as Hawkinsville High School during c. 1956-1975 and as Pulaski County Middle School during 1975–1990, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.[1][2]

The property includes a school building built in 1936 with 1949, 1950, 1951 and c. 1968-1969 additions, a separate non-contributing building built in 1954, and a c. 1959 water tower. The 1936 building was funded by the Public Works Administration, included 13 classrooms and an auditorium, and has a Colonial Revival style with a brick veneer, and was designed by W. Elliott Dunwody, Jr. (1893-1986) of Macon, Georgia. Two later additions were in International Style.[2]

In 2008, the property was "a multi-purpose facility housing an alternative school, pre-kindergarten, and school system offices."[2]: 5
