Community
North Johnston High School serves an area composed of several small communities and towns: Glendale-Chapel, Kenly, Micro, and Pine Level. Each of these communities had their own local schools until the consolidated North Johnston High School opened in 1965. The attendance area is heavily influenced by its agriculture heritage. The economic base has gradually changed over the years, but many of the people in the area are still involved with some agriculture enterprise. The people in the community have a great deal of pride in the high school, and many are involved in their student’s education. The development of local industry and the opportunities of the Research Triangle Park and Wake County have begun to influence the economic base and have increased more of an awareness of the importance of parental involvement in education.
