But the problem is that the board of education refuses to build another high school in Moore county
Possible counties with new schools in the next 5 years

If Moore county builds another HS, they will make it open enrollment. The county actually has very strict enrollment and usually doesn’t allow transfers without the parents paying a fee. The last thing they want to do is ruin Pinecrest sports success (board speaking) and building another HS does that. The current Pinecrest location has a bunch of land to build a 9th grade academy (biggest issue) considering most of the 12th graders have 1-2 on campus classes with the rest being at Sandhills CC.
I have no earthly idea of what the Moore County Board of Education really wants ... Not even global domination!!!
Richmond County will begin building a 9th Grade building on their campus pretty soon, which will eliminate the Richmond County 9th Grade Academy. If they can, I’m supremely confident Pinecrest can.
That's actually smart because NCHSAA counts the freshman academy as part of Richmond Senior's pull anyway.
And Moore county can do that for Pinecrest, but they won't despite the fact Pinecrest has 100 acres to play with.
I know Wayne county was talking about doing something with Rosewood Middle school due to the age and state of the buildings and the fact that it and Rosewood High have a combined 60 acres. A suggestion was made to build a brand new middle school on a fresh 40 acres and let the high school completely take over to make room for any potential spill over from Johnston county but they don't want to bite into that idea.
How many freshman do you think will play varsity football because of this? They have had freshmen at the ninth grade campus play varsity sports.
That's a really good question. They could go with somewhere between zero and one for each position. Only time, talent, and coaching decisions will tell.
There will be VERY few freshman that will contribute with considerable playing time on a top tier 4A team.
Yep. SE Charlotte and western Union Co. are booming right now with no letup in sight. That could eventually become a conference.
