History

South Rowan High School opened in 1961.

In 2006, the Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education made headlines when students at South Rowan started up a gay–straight alliance. In response to public complaint, led by Flip Benham of Operation Save America from neighboring Cabarrus county,[3] the board adopted a policy banning "Sex-based student clubs" at all schools in the system.[4]

Graduations are generally held at South Rowan's own James Donnell Stadium, on the school's campus.
