[edit] Overview

Asheboro High School is the only high school in the Asheboro City Schools District. The current campus was constructed between 1949 and 1953, with a major addition to the gymnasium made in 1980 and further renovations made in the early 1990s. The recent annexation of the Sir Robert Motel (located to the rear of the school where many dead bodies have been recovered) has expanded space for classes and a "Professional Development Center" (nicknamed Comet Corner). The student body consists of approximately 1,300 students.

[edit] Athletics

Asheboro High School's mascot is the Blue Comet. They play in the NCHSAA's 3-A division.
