A. C. Reynolds High School - Overview

Overview

A.C. Reynolds High School is part of the Buncombe County Schools System. In 1955, three schools, Haw Creek, Fairview and Oakley, consolidated to establish A.C. Reynolds High School. The school was named for former principal and superintendent A.C. Reynolds. In 1976, the current facility was erected across the street from the old facility. After the high school moved into this new building, the original building became the middle school. In 1999, 2002 and 2009 the ACR football team won the 4A State Championship. The 1999 team is famous for its crushing defense which is considered by many sports writers to be the best in the history of the state. In 1997 and 2010, the Reynolds Varsity Cheerleading team won the state competition.

The high school has two feeder schools: Cane Creek Middle School and A.C. Reynolds Middle School. Cane Creek Middle School, located on the Fairview/Fletcher border, also feeds into T. C. Roberson High School.
