South Granville High is a high school in Creedmoor, North Carolina, and is part of the Granville County Schools system. It also contains South Granville High School of Health and Life Sciences and South Granville High School of Integrated Technology and Leadership.
Located in Creedmoor, North Carolina in the county of Granville. The school of South Granville High was built in 1962 as a replacement high school for the already existing Creedmoor High (also located in Creedmoor; later known as the Creedmoor School). The Creedmoor School built in 1909 served as the grammar school for the lower end of the county as South Granville officially became the high school. South Granville served as school for grades 9-12 up until 1970 when the Creedmoor School (a former high school) burned to the ground because of an electrical fire. South Granville soon became the leading high school in the southern part of Granville County. To replace the Creedmoor School the county built Creedmoor Elementary School in 1972. Since the Supreme Court case of Brown vs. Board of Education the schools of North Carolina worked to become integrated. In Granville County this did not become true until late 1969. The black high school of G. C. Hawley (est. 1936) located a mile away from South Granville became the junior high school in 1970 taking the grades of 5-8 and South Granville became the high school with grades of 9-12. In later years South Granville became renowned for its academic programs and organization successes. The school became home to three subsidiary schools all contained in the same building thanks to the . In 2007 the school separated into three "small schools" the School of Business & Global Communications, the School of Health & Life Sciences, and the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. This caused a lot of community stirrup and protesting. After hundreds of complaints from parents, students, and teachers the Granville County School Board decided to discontinue the schools of Business & Engineering. The School is now known as the School of Integrated Technology and Leadership. South Granville has a very popular Athletic department, with many Sports. The Baseball Program at South Granville is one of the most popular in East Central North Carolina. Since 1964 the South Granville athletics has had a heated rivalry with J. F. Webb High School located at the northern end of Granville County in Oxford.
