History

Lincoln County Schools started out as rural schools throughout the county. Throughout the 19th century, refinements in the North Carolina Constitution allowed the public school system to start. [5] Lincoln County Schools began to function as a government body in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. [6] Between 1915-1927, L. Berge Beam led a giant construction and consolidation program to unify the county under one school district. This plan included closure of neighborhood schools, replacing them with newer schools that had higher teaching standards and improved facilities. It also included a transportation route with a newly acquired bus fleet to prevent students from dropping out after the fifth and sixth grades. [7] For the next few decades after L. Berge Beam's leadership, the school district experienced growth. Between 1950-1968, North Carolina and Lincoln County Schools underwent desegregation. This process faced much delay to be implemented fully. In 1968, Newbold High School, a black high school that opened in 1952 to separate black students from white students, closed after the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare would cut off funding for the county's school district if not closed. Therefore, a plan was formed to phase out the school and any remaining schools that were racially segregated. [8] The school was refurbished as G.E. Massey Elementary School. After the 1960s, Lincoln County Schools saw more growth as the district was given $2.7 million to construct new high schools in 1972. [9] Lincoln County Schools experienced an increased growth of students which caused North Lincoln High School to open in 2003. [10]
