Fire
On November 1, 2006 at approximately 2:20 PM, a fire broke out in a chemistry lab office. The school was severely damaged and was declared a total loss. All of the students were evacuated and there were no injuries; however, the building had to be demolished due to safety concerns. On December 7, 2006, it was reported that the cause of the fire was ruled as arson, and a $10,000 reward was being offered for information leading to the arrest of the person or persons responsible for setting the fire. The Guilford County Sheriff's Department have spoken with "people of interest" who they believe may have been involved with the arson.
