Dear Second Ward: Celebrating Second Ward High School's Centennial
Mecklenburg County and the Second Ward High School National Alumni Foundation celebrate the 100th anniversary of Charlotte’s first high school for Black students. Second Ward High School opened in 1923. It closed in 1969 and was torn down. Second Ward Gymnasium is the only remaining facility of the old school. The gym, located on the campus of the Mecklenburg County Aquatic Center, houses a basketball court and cycle studio and serves as recreational space for fitness, athletics, camps, and other programs.
Dear Second Ward is the first line of the school’s alma mater. A dozen former students shared photos, yearbooks and stories.
