}}Davie County High School (DCHS) is a public high school in Mocksville, Davie County, North Carolina, United States. Davie County High School is the sole traditional high school in the Davie County School System; it had an enrollment of 1,784 as of the 2013–2014 academic school year.[2]

History

Davie County High School was built in 1956 on the outskirts of downtown Mocksville, the county seat. Initially called the Rebels, the school later faced controversy and was forced to change mascots. They are now known as the Davie County War Eagles.

Since 2000, the county population has expanded 8.2%,[3] and there are ongoing debates that the school may be too crowded. Two school bond referenda were held, in 2003 and 2007, to provide money for a second new school in the eastern part of the county; however, each of the referenda were rejected by nearly 2-to-1 margins.[4]

In 2014, voters approved the construction of one new high school.[5]

The new high school is located on Farmington Road in north eastern Davie County.[6] It was approved by a 53.76% to 46.24% margin.[7]
