CHS Will Remain
Almost 10 years after the first public vote, the Gaston County Board of County Commissioners held public hearings in Cherryville, Tryon School district, and Bessemer City to gauge support for the proposed Northwest High School. Following these public hearings, with overwhelming opposition still against the proposed merger, the Gaston County Commissioners and Consolidated Gaston County Board of Education agreed to maintain Cherryville High School and Bessemer City High School as separate entities.
In tandem Dr. Black and other citizens demanded that funding be made available to replace the antiquated 1936 CHS building, still in use at that time. Funding was approved and by 1981 a new CHS building was added to the existing Cherryville Junior High School, located on Ridge Avenue. The school was constructed in the same circular fashion as the junior high building, giving it an aerial look of a reel-to-reel projector sprawling across 15.3 acres of land.

Famous quotes containing the word remain:
“Then, that no region of the universe
Should remain void of life, the floor of heaven
Was peopled with the stars and godlike forms,
The seas became the abode of glittering fish.
Earth took the beasts and mobile air the birds.
A holier animal was wanting.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
