Hibriten Academy was consolidated with Kings Creek High at the end of the 1932 school term.

[2] Following a survey of the schools of Caldwell County in 1963, the State Department of Public Instruction recommended that three of the rural schools—Oak Hill, King's Creek, and Happy Valley—be consolidated.

Thirty-five acres of land, located in the Lower Creek section of the county, were purchased at a cost of $37,500.

Designed in a plan similar to a split-level building, the school consists of three levels and contains departments in science, home economics, English, French, math, social studies, music, physical education, drama, child care center, and vocational studies which include technical drafting, business, introduction to vocations, agriculture, carpentry, graphics, electronics, bricklaying, and the work study programs of industrial cooperative training and distributive education.

[4][5] Of note are the band directors who taught at Hibriten and who are now in the North Carolina Bandmaster's Hall of Fame.

Other HHS Band directors have been honored by the Northwest District of the NC Bandmasters Association including Dennis Carswell, John Craig,[6] and Bill Witcher.
