Abstract:

Northwest Ashe High School in Warrensville was the first public school in North Carolina to have its own indoor swimming pool. Students and teachers raised the $60,000 necessary to build the pool, and, with some help from the community, built the pool themselves. It opened in 1975, and, for a fee, can be used by the public at night.\r\n
