Enloe High School

It was deemed undesirable to pull Broughton's upcoming seniors out, so Enloe had only 160 juniors for its highest class out of a student body of 910 during its first year.

[citation needed] Enloe absorbed the Aycock campus in 1979, becoming a modern high school focused on educating ninth through twelfth grade students.

In July 1997, Enloe became an IB World School, allowing students to pursue the challenging International Baccalaureate Programme.

The next stage of Enloe's renovation was completed in January 2009, and involved the locker rooms in the West Gym being converted to house the audio-visual classrooms as well as the television studio.

The Wake County School Board considered removing the International Baccalaureate and magnet status from Enloe in 2008, but this decision was overturned due to the intense lobbying of students and their parents.

[16] NAACP officials later clarified that the mentioning of Enloe was intended to bring in historical context, and that they did not desire for the school's name to be changed.

[21][22] In February 2007, the school came under fire from Muslim advocacy groups and the American Civil Liberties Union after history teacher Robert Escamilla invited Kamil Solomon, a Coptic Christian Evangelist and head of Kamil International Ministries, to speak about his experiences with Christianity and Muslims.

He subsequently issued new guidelines that require guest speakers to sign forms saying they will not denigrate any culture, race, gender, national origin or religion.

[24] In a controversial move, the school board voted to release part of Escamilla's confidential personnel file to justify its decision.

[citation needed] Escamilla and the school district reached a settlement in which Wake agreed not to punish him any further over the Evangelist controversy.

[25] In 2004, Enloe High School began hosting a "Charity Ball" and raising money in connection with the dance for local philanthropic causes.

[32] There were 148 members of the Enloe teaching staff in 2006, and many support personnel were employed in administration, guidance and similar positions.

[33] Twenty-five members were certified by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards and 39% possessed an advanced degree (Masters or PhD) in their respective fields.

The first phase involved basic computer skills, word processing, data management, email, and multimedia (including handling of laserdisc players, Quicktake cameras, and camcorders), while the second focused on educating teachers on technology that could be specifically applied to their curriculum.

[39] Enloe is a host to several clubs within the field of Social Sciences; including Model United Nations, Speech and Debate, and Mock Trial.

[42] In 1998 senior Matt Williams, an editor on the paper, sold ad space to the North Carolina Lambda Youth Network, a self-described leadership development group for lesbian, gay, bisexual and straight young people.

[44] The censorship was unanimously upheld by a three-member panel, which asserted that the county policy allowed the principal to make final decisions regarding school publications.

Principal Bobby Allen found a series of jokes in one article offensive and asserted that he could review each monthly issue before its release, as per county policy.

After months of negotiation, the school board reached a settlement whereby students could publish free from prior review as long they did not distribute during class.

[48] Enloe also has its own control room and broadcast desk where students produce the school's live television news show, the 'Loe Down.

[52] Through its video and audio production classes, Enloe High School has also gained multiple Student Emmys.

[53] Enloe's sports image was designed by the Broughton sophomores allotted to attend the school their junior year in 1962.
