It is official…The new high school on Bailey Road in Cornelius will be named W.A. Hough (pronounced “huff”) High School. A second attempt trying to sway the board of education to reconsider the name failed. Several parents and students pleaded their support for both sides of the issue but in the end the motion failed by a 7-2 vote.
The school will open for the 2010-2011 year. A much needed relief in Northern Mecklenburg county where overcrowding is a problem in North Mecklenburg High School and Hopewell High school in Huntersville.
Some of the neighborhoods that will be feed in to W.A. Hough High Are: The Peninsulia, Caldwell Station and Antiquity in Cornelius. Summers Walk, River Run and Bailey Springs in Davidson. The Hamptons, Wynfield and Birkdale in Huntersville.
