Person High School

Person High School is a school in Roxboro, North Carolina. It is the only high school in the Person County School district.

History

In the 1890's, Person High School was known as Roxboro High School.

In 1925, a new school was built at a cost of $75,000. At this time, only 150 students were enrolled. In 1966, the school was converted into an elementary school after a new high school was built nearby.

In 1969, Roxboro High School and the Person County High School for African Americans were merged, with the latter becoming a junior high school. Later that year, the school was renamed to Person County Senior High School.

In 2003, at least 25 students were suspended after defying the school's ban on clothing displaying the Confederate flag.
