In the 1970s, Governor Sanford urged members of the General Assembly to open three specialized schools each focusing specifically on the arts, math and science, and the humanities. Only the school of art, located in Winston-Salem, was realized by Governor Sanford. With Governor Hunt in charge, he persuaded the General Assembly of 1977 and 1979 to establish the school of Math and Science to open in Durham at the end of 1980.
