I imagine a new school would be built out near Terrell. Along 150 and 16 near abouts makes the most sense if that were the case. Would take some kids away from Bandys and North. Just depends on what county gets it.

That would be interesting if they build out that way ..... That area has blown up around Bandys to North Lincoln but THAT WOULD A TON of schools within 20-25 mile radius
NL, WL, EL , Lincolnton, Bandys, Mt island charter, then if this new school happens that 7 schools within that radius
I wonder about that, too. It looks like requests for building might be getting to this area which could have some effect. With all the building in the East Lincoln high school district and North Lincoln high school district It's a little hard to understand how both of these eastern Lincoln county schools' districts nearly run up to the city limits of Lincolnton.
North has the biggest enrollment and East is second. It's puzzling to me how students in the western most part of their (North and East) school districts aren't going to Lincolnton since these students are considerably closer to Lincolnton High school. I try to resist being shortsighted about such things but politics can be peculiar. Surely there is a sound and equitable answer to it, after all, we are part of the same school system.
Mr. Lincolnton its skullduggery and shenanagins Ill tell ya.....
HA HA

It sure has been too long, my friend. I look forward to us all getting together. If I'm physically able I'll be sure to be there. I still regret missing the last time. Cheerduck sent me a photo of the last meeting. I told him you looked trim and shaped up. He said you were certainly looking good. A big congratulations to you.
Yeah bud losing nearly a 100 lbs will make it happen.... Been a long journey...... HA HA
I’m willing to bet that the higher ups did not anticipate the amount of growth that has happened down at the eastern part of the county. I have always thought it was crazy that the North district includes Arden Oaks and surrounding neighborhoods along 150 right outside of city limits, along with everything up to car farm road. Heck, even for the Iron Station folks it’s an easier drive to Lincolnton than it is to Denver. It will be interesting to see what happens within the next 5 years once more and more subdivisions are thrown up in and around Denver. We both know what the easiest and most reasonable solution is but that would involve a lot of hurt feelings and politicians who are willing. I’ll say this, representation matters.
I talk to a few folks a fair amount who grew up in those surrounding neighborhoods along 150. We like to talk about our "glory days" playing and going to LHS, but I wonder how many of them would still send them to Lincolnton or opt for NLHS. Btw, another school in those parts cannot happen just because of naming conventions. What are you going to name it Northeast High?
Those neighborhoods are all part of the North Lincoln district. That is a fair amount of kids who are just outside city limits going to North. In terms of a new school being built, I am not sure what area down east they are looking at. I have also heard another charter may be in the works down that way.
Maybe it could be named East of Eden High. That’d be unique.
My money would be on West Lake High....or Dellinger High
I would think that restructuring the school districts’ boundaries…so that more kids went to Lincolnton …would be a good short term solution. It makes no sense to me….not to do that first.
Mid or Long term….another school is probably inevitable.
Lincoln Charter appears to be growing quickly as well.

Instead of west Lake High or Dellinger High, could you split the difference and call it Dellinger's Lake. That way it would sound like a carp pond and be a good name for their athletic teams, "The Fighting Carps". Go you carps, go !
MC, from the afternoon until dark you can see the Lincoln Charter buses going and coming down Main Street. I suppose they're shuttling students involved in athletics between the Lincolnton and Denver campuses.
At the next county commission meeting they're going to discuss an application by developers for houses near Gainesville Church which is just behind the Lincolnton campus. Heard they have a backlog of applicants but I'm not sure.
Yeah, GD, if I'm the school's namesake, carp would be better since it's a completely useless and purposeless creature.
I’ve noticed a few developments (really nice houses too) on Startown road near the high school and middle school as well.
The spillover from Denver is inevitable. Some folks are upset about it but truth be told, we need it. More subdivisions will get thrown up in the West Lincoln district in the coming years as well.
There was recently an issue at a city council meeting about a development in the Startown Road area near the middle school. I'm not sure if they've had time to begin yet but it was finally approved. I'm thinking like this was just a couple of weeks ago. There was a good bit of pushback and the city council was split. The Mayor broke the tie in favor of the developers.
what about - Pumpkin Center HS (Home of the Blazin Pumpkins)
The Pie Boys would be dominate for sure
I down with the name of the Crappies. My dad who loved to fish at the Hot Hole hated catching carp. Now back on topic, the Pumpkin Center Blazers? I like that as well. I took a few Liberties with the name BlueDevil1996. The color scheme has to be Orange (East) and Black (Lincolnton) with a Jack O' Lantern decal on its helmet or at least Jack O Lantern decals for defensive and offensive plays made by the Blazers. I think we have just solved Lincoln County's next high school name.
Rumor has it…we’re scrimmaging Hickory this year. I hope it happens.
That's what we did when I played...then my senior year was the first year of the CVAC 2A/3A conference with them. Conference ended in a 3 way tie between us-Hickory-Newton
It use to be teams said, "as long as we beat Maiden". Now WL is jumping straight to, "we're a state championship team".
I guess we're losing our touch @Maiden Creek !!! That playoff whooping must've stirred up something real deep in them Rebels...
I like the confidence...see you this fall in Maiden...
Heard rumors that Maidens new QB is eligible again. Anyone heard anything?
I don't think any real news will make any appearance until the school board meeting on June 6th. Should be some fireworks with some in the community getting to speak their mind.
Is North Carolina changing the rules that to advance it is combining football with dual-meet wrestling? Then I like WLHS as one of the favorites to win it all. Might as well throw Bandys in the mix as well.
I spoke to some coaches Wednesday night…and that wasn’t the case.
Unless something changed yesterday….but I haven’t heard anything.
The temperature in hell must be dropping if WL thinks they are going to win state championship.
What the coach I spoke with last night said.
Yeah, that's about the round it gets real. They are much improved from back in the day. That's a fact but IMO they are still a long ways from competing with the teams that are historically considered the best in their region.
QB Thompson was back in school this past week...and student gossip is both the Stover kids are planning on transferring to Bandys.
