Abstract:

John Thomas Barber became principal of West Street Graded School in 1905. The school burned but was rebuilt substantially by 1908 and was considered one of the best graded school buildings in the state. Construction on J.T. Barber High School began in 1951. By 1971, it was merged through the process of integration into New Bern High School.
