Our History     

     In 1917 Pisgah Junior High School was established.  It became a high school in 1925. Albert Raines, later to become a U. S. Congressman, was the first principal. In 1938, a new main high school building consisting of nine classrooms, a home economics department, a library, two restrooms, a teachers' lounge, and a principal's office was built with WPA labor. A two-story elementary building was constructed in 1953.  The lunchroom was also located in this building. Additional construction has included a new gym in 1961, a junior high wing, which is now the elementary building in 1963, a new agriculture department in 1964; a new lunchroom in 1969; and a new library in 1985.
     

     Over the years several neighboring schools consolidated with Pisgah.  These include Jones Cove, Webster, Chalybete Springs in 1939, New Herman in 1941, Browntown and Central in 1946, Sublets in 1951, Pleasant View in 1964, and Deans Chapel in 1969.

     In the fall of 1998, sixty years after the construction of the main high school building, students moved into the present day building. The main structure of the old high school building was sold and moved to Gorham's Bluff, a community in Pisgah.  At the beginning of the 2016-2017 school year, the agriculture department moved in to a newly designed shop after the destruction of the old 1964 ag building.
