Salisbury High School is a public, co-educational secondary school located in Salisbury, North Carolina. It is one of eight high schools in the Rowan–Salisbury School System.
Salisbury High School began in 1904 and was among the earliest public high schools in North Carolina. The current location was completed in 1926 and named Boyden High School in honor of Colonel Archibald Henderson Boyden, an educator who was then Mayor of Salisbury. It is one of many schools built across North Carolina in the early 20th Century. The building was designed by C. Gadsen Sayre and built by L. S. Bradshaw, and (as Boyden High School) was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 23, 1996. Six additional buildings were constructed on campus to facilitate the school's expanding offerings and enrollment, many of them as part of the Works Progress Administration. In 1970, during desegregation, Boyden and J.C. Price high schools consolidated to form Salisbury High School.
For the 2009–2010 school year, Salisbury High School had a total population of 938 students and 67.82 teachers on a (FTE) basis.
As of the 2009–2010 school year, out of the student total, the gender ratio was 50.32% male to 49.68% female. The demographic group makeup of the student population was: Black, 54.05%; White, 32.84%; Hispanic, 11.19%; Asian/Pacific Islander, 1.92%; and American Indian, 0%. For the same school year, 62.15% of the students received free and reduced-cost lunches.
Graduations are generally held at Catawba College's Keppel Auditorium.
In 2008, Salisbury High School was ranked a Silver Level school by the U.S. News & World Report and was also included in the magazine list of top 1000 public schools in the nation.
