History

Davie County High School was built in 1956 on the outskirts of downtown Mocksville, the county seat. Initially the school team name was the Rebels, the school later faced controversy and changed mascots. Davie County High's new team name became the War Eagles.

Since 2000, the county population has expanded 8.2%,[2] and there were ongoing debates that the school might have been too crowded. Two school bond referendums were held, in 2003 and 2007, to provide money for a second new school in the eastern part of the county; however, each of the referendums were rejected by nearly 2-to-1 margins.[3]

In 2014, voters approved the construction of one new high school.[4] The new high school is located on Farmington Road in north eastern Davie County.[5] It was approved by a 53.76% to 46.24% margin.[6]
