Pleasant Grove High School was built on this site in 1922 to serve grades 8-10 from five small schools in Pleasant Grove Township and one from Faucette Township: Mahan, Sidney, King, Squires, and McCray. Brogden Tew was the first principal. Grades 1-7 from the five schools, plus Union Ridge School, were consolidated into Pleasant Grove from 1925-30, and the small schools were eventually sold or demolished. In 1962, Pleasant Grove, Haw River, and Mebane, the county's all-white high schools in its eastern quadrant, were consolidated into Eastern High School. Woodlawn Middle School opened in 1970 to receive all grades 6-8 students in the district. Pleasant Grove then became an elementary school until it closed in 1971 as part of the county plan to comply with desegregation regulations resulting from the Supreme Court decision in Brown vs. Board of Education, which declared segregation by race unconstitutional. Pleasant Grove's white students and staff were integrated into Pleasant Grove Union School. Edward Iseley served the school as teacher and principal from 1930-1971 and was its last principal. The building was later demolished except for the cafeteria-gym wing, which remains as a recreation and community center.
