North Burlington hosted state and local officials on Monday for the dedication of the newly-renovated McCray School, one of North Carolina's oldest structures that once housed a segregated school. Despite overcast skies, the rain held off as project and Alamance-Burlington Schools officials spoke about the months-long undertaking to restore the building located at 4460 NC Highway 62. Established in 1915, the McCray School is a single-room school built for African American students. The McCray School ended in 1952 with the opening of Pleasant Grove Elementary. Through the decades, the building has gone from school to community meeting space. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places sometime in the late 1980s. While work on the primary building has wrapped, the scope of the overall project has expanded to include a second phase. The second phase entails the construction of an outdoor teaching area adjacent to the primary structure and the placing of historical markers that will tell the story of the McCray School.
