History
The origins of Terry Sanford High School stems from when Clyde R. Hoey, then Governor of North Carolina, dedicated Fayetteville Senior High School on September 23, 1940. In October 1954, the high school moved locations, and the student body moved to a different facility near the grounds of the former Confederate Women's Home. Fayetteville High School was renamed "Terry Sanford High School" in 1968.
Athletics
