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:
“Considered in its entirety, psychoanalysis won’t do. It’s an end product, moreover, like a dinosaur or a zeppelin; no better theory can ever be erected on its ruins, which will remain for ever one of the saddest and strangest of all landmarks in the history of twentieth-century thought.”
—Peter B. Medawar (1915–1987)
