South Rowan High School

South Rowan High School is a public, co-educational secondary school located in China Grove, North Carolina. It is one of seven high schools in the Rowan-Salisbury School System History South Rowan High School opened in 1961. In 2006, the Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education made headlines when students at South Rowan started up a gay–straight alliance. In response to public complaint, led by Flip Benham of Operation Save America from neighboring Cabarrus county, the board adopted a policy banning "Sex-based student clubs" at all schools in the system. Graduations are generally held at South Rowan's own James Donnell Stadium, on the school's campus.
