Ardrey Kell High School is a public high school serving grades 9–12 in the Ballantyne area of Charlotte, North Carolina, United States. The school is part of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district.

History

[edit]

Established in 2006, Ardrey Kell High School was built in the growing Ballantyne area of Charlotte.[2] Ardrey Kell was named after two prominent local families in the area known as "Lower Providence" in southern Mecklenburg County.[3] Both families have served the community as farmers, physicians, educators, politicians and church leaders.

During the 19th century, the Ardrey family owned a sizable cotton plantation in the southern part of Mecklenburg County. A member of the family, Captain William E. Ardrey, served in the Confederate Army and was described by a Charlotte News article, dated August 14, 1916, as "One of the leading citizens of Mecklenburg County." His father, Dr. William A. Ardrey, who died in December 1861, was the Ardrey's family head. Dr. James Kell, a friend of Ardrey, took over his property after Ardrey’s death.[4] The school is located on Ardrey Kell Road.
