The Wilkes County Schools system is a PK–12 graded school district in North Carolina covering nearly all of Wilkes County. The third-largest employer in the county, the district manages 22 schools that serve 10,374 students as of 2010–11. The history of public education in Wilkes County really began shortly after the state passed its first common school law in 1839. The state was then divided into several school districts. As late as the 1930s, Wilkes county had as many as 151 one- or two-teacher schoolhouses. Over the next few decades, a general move toward school system consolidation, as well as racial integration, culminated in the merger of the county system with the North Wilkesboro city schools. Prior to 1975, North Wilkesboro had its own separate school system called North Wilkesboro City Schools. Facing increasing expenses with school construction and repair, the two boards merged on July 1, 1975. More information...
