You are a complete and total idiot. Reidsville and Booker T. Washington High Schools were integrated the same as nearly all previously segerated high schools in North Carolina.
"the school leaders got together and changed the mascot to the Rams to acknowledge as much". Wrong once again. The students from both schools voted for the Rams mascot.
Why is it that when a legitimate topic comes up to discuss, you guys immediately start stomping and calling folks names and acting foolish.
You know what they say about people who are reduced to name calling.
We were just sitting here minding our business and THT brought up consolidation at Reidsville High School.
Are we just supposed to ignore that? There seems to be all kinds of consolidations and mergers of school systems in Rockingham County over the last 60 years or so. You changed the name of Reidsville Senior, the mascot (we didn’t say it couldn’t have been STUDENT LEADERS), feeder schools, etc.
Rockingham city consolidated with Hamlet city and poof, it is now Richmond Senior and all Rockingham city records are bygones.
Why are y’all so sensitive?
Cleveland High School did not merge or consolidate with Shelby High School.
We explained that already. Black students enrolled over a 10 year plan into elementary schools, middle schools, Burns, Crest, and Shelby, and even some to Kings Mountain.
As far as Shelby and Crest are concerned, between these two programs are 18 state titles and 24 championship game appearances in the last 36 years. We challenge you to find that success for two programs in any other county in the state.
18 Titles in 36 years. 50%
24 Appearances in 36 years. 67%
There is no objective doubt that placed together, the duo would dominate 4A.
You just won the State Championship.
The “unified” 2A classification Title.
Now act like you’ve been there b……
Wait a minute…..
