In learning about our history, did you know that:

 

˜the Graded School opened in 1888 on the current site of the Central Child Development Center and, ultimately, students attended Rock Hill High School on E. White Street which opened its doors in 1914?

 

˜Northwestern High School opened in 1971 with grades 8-11 with Samuel R. Foster as principal and Mayor Doug Echols as the school's first athletic director?
