App Description

The birth of W.P. Davidson High School was in 1960 when a tenth-grade class was contained in the building of the Azalea Road Junior High School.

Each year an additional grade was included, until the 1962-1963 school year when Davidson graduated its first class.

That same year the modern building, which previously had been only a dream to Davidson students, became a reality.

The much envied seniors were given the esteemed privilege of attending classes in the new structure during the last two weeks of school.

The dedication of W.P. Davidson was during September. The first full year was the 1963-1964 session, in which case four grades, Freshman - Seniors, were taught.
