West Forsyth was also one of 13 high schools in the state of North Carolina in 2009 to receive the distinction of Honor School of Excellence due to high achievement on standardized tests.

Famous quotes containing the word general:
“The general so likes your music, that he desires you for love’s sake to make no more noise with it.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“No doubt, the short distance to which you can see in the woods, and the general twilight, would at length react on the inhabitants, and make them savages. The lakes also reveal the mountains, and give ample scope and range to our thought.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“General education is the best preventive of the evils now most dreaded. In the civilized countries of the world, the question is how to distribute most generally and equally the property of the world. As a rule, where education is most general the distribution of property is most general.... As knowledge spreads, wealth spreads. To diffuse knowledge is to diffuse wealth. To give all an equal chance to acquire knowledge is the best and surest way to give all an equal chance to acquire property.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
