| dbo:abstract | North Central High School is a public high school located in Kershaw, South Carolina. It is governed by the Kershaw County School District. It serves students in the North Central area of Kershaw County and has a student population of approximately 500. The principal of NCHS is David Branham. It is home of the North Central Knights. North Central is the result of a 1979 merger of Mt. Pisgah, Baron DeKalb, and Midway High Schools. NCHS is one of the largest attendance zones (300 square miles) in the state serving the Cassatt, Mt. Pisgah, Bethune, Westville, Kershaw and Liberty Hill communities. In 1999, the school board voted to close the Bethune High School. Those students and staff members were consolidated into North Central's population. Since its opening in 1979, North Central High has housed students in grades 9 through 12. In 2002, the school district opened the new North Central Middle School, which moved grades 7 and 8 from the High School and grade 6 from the four elementary schools. In 2008 NCHS saw the completion of the facilities equalization plan which included the addition of a new gym, wellness center, tennis courts, track, field house, athletic training facilities, and 450-seat auditorium. At 10:33 p.m. on Saturday, January 11, 2020, an EF2 tornado with maximum wind speeds of 130 mph heavily damaged the campus, including the stadium, school, and approximately 28 school buses in the transportation office. After the National Weather Service verified the tornado, they reported: The tornado began near the intersection of Lockhart Rd and Keys Ln, then traveled northeast across the campus of North Central High School before lifting approximately a half mile later beyond the parking lot on the northeast side of the school. The tornado snapped numerous pine trees at the beginning of the track, then partially collapsed concrete stadium bleachers and a press box. The tornado continued across the gymnasium, lifting all of the hvac units off the roof. The tornado then lifted most of the roof off of the main office and an older auditorium, then collapsed the exterior wall along a portion of the west side of the building. The tornado then moved into the parking lot on the north side of the building where it moved 4 school buses, and resulted in broken windows and other damages to 25-30 parked school buses. The tornado then destroyed a small building just beyond the parking lot before lifting. Strong inflow into the tornado also snapped numerous pine trees south of the baseball field, collapsed 2 large light stands near the baseball field, and lifted and displaced a conex shipping container approximately 50 yards. The tornado path length was about 0.50 miles and the path width was about 150 yards. The school has been relocated to 874 Vocational Lane in Camden, South Carolina while repairs are made to the home campus. The school reopened to students on January 15, 2020. (en) |
