The Asheboro City School District was chartered in 1905. Before then the school had been in operation on the site of the old Asheboro Male Academy which the School Committee had purchased in 1891.
The first Superintendent of the District was appointed in 1909 (O.V. Woosley) and in that same year a brick building, the first one of brick, was erected on the site that had been used for school purposes since 1840. Wings and an auditorium were added to this building between 1924 and 1926. It was the only school in Asheboro until 1936 when Park Street Elementary School was added. The Fayetteville Street School site was sold in 1976 for $190,500, and the building was soon demolished. It had existed nearly seventy years and was known to old-time citizens of Asheboro as their school.
The Asheboro High School on Park Street opened in 1951, leaving the Fayetteville Street School to be used as a Junior High School until a new building for the Junior High School was added on Park Street in 1962. Also included in the school complex on Park Street and Walker Avenue is the City Schools Administration Office.
