Raleigh-Egypt High School (REHS) is a secondary school (grades 9–12) located at 3970 Voltaire Road in Raleigh, a section of Memphis, Tennessee, United States.
[1] When REHS was built in 1969,[citation needed] it was part of the Shelby County School System.
[4] REHS was racially integrated at its beginning[citation needed] but, like the rest of the Shelby County Schools, has since resegregated due to white flight.
[7] Raleigh Egypt High's name reflects two areas it serves: Raleigh, a large, previously incorporated area in north-central Memphis, and Egypt, a small unincorporated community that was one of the earliest settlements in Shelby County.
[citation needed] Picking up on the latter name, the school's athletic teams are called The Pharaohs, the mascot is a Pharaoh, the yearbook is The Sphinx, and the student newspaper is The Scroll.
