Hoey Hall aka Upper School
Built in 1939 (renovations currently in
progress). After the Great Fire of West Hall on the same
site, the bricks from
West Hall were used to construct Hoey Building. After it was completed, it
was still named West Hall when NC Governor Clyde Hoey designated emergency funds
to build
the new school, henceforth renamed after the Governor - Jim Autrey
Hoffmeyer Hall
The cafeteria of Hoffmeyer Hall was
oftentimes used for Sports, Jr/Sr Banquets as well as
Homecoming functions.
McCord Building aka SUB (Student Union
Building)
Completed in 1967, the top floor was used for
the girls physical education and the bottom floor
was used for various student
functions. It also had two bowling lanes which made NCSD the
only school in the
good ole US of A that has bowling lanes on campus - Jimmy Autrey
