Since the Supreme Court case of Brown vs. Board of Education, the schools of North Carolina worked to become integrated.

In 1992, the school added a new entrance to the building (containing a lobby, auditorium, band room, restrooms, and auxiliary gym).

In late 1998, the county added another wing to the school on the south end of the building which housed more classrooms.

The two students were expelled from the school for the rest of the year, and the science teacher was suspended pending on board investigations (he was found innocent and retained his job).

Officials said air quality tests conducted that night revealed "no evidence of additional mercury at the school.
