== History == Located in Creedmoor, North Carolina in the county of Granville. The school of South Granville High was built in 1962 as a replacement high school for the already existing Creedmoor High [also located in Creedmoor/ later know as the Creedmoor School]. The Creedmoor School served as the grammar school for the lower end of the county. South Granville served as school for grades 5-12 up until 1970 when the Creedmoor School [former high school] burned to the ground due to an electrical fire. South Granville soon became the leading high school in the southern part of Granville County. Since the Supreme Court case of Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka the schools of North Carolina worked diligently to become integrated. In Granville County this did not become true until late 1969. The black high school of G.C. Hawley located a mile away from South Granville became the junior high school in 1970 taking the grades of 5-8 and South Granville became the high school with grades of 9-12. In later years South Granville became reknowned for its academic programs and organization sucesses. The school became home to three subsidiary schools all contained in the same building. In 2007 the school separated into three "small schools" the School of Business & Global Communications, the School of Health & Life Sciences, and the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. This caused a lot of community stirrup and protesting. After hundreds of complaints from parents, students, and teachers the Granville County School Board decided to discontinue the the schools of Business & Engineering. South Granville has a very popular Athletic department, with many Sports. The Football Program at South Granville is one of the most popular in East Central North Carolina. The majority of the weekly friday night games are sold out to patrons wanting to see there favorite team win. Since 1964 the South Granville athletics has had a heated rivalry with J. F. Webb High School located at the northern end of Granville County in Oxford.
