Growth
As the population of Cabarrus County has exploded over the past fifteen years, so too has the size of the school system. In 2001 the county opened Robinson High School, the first new high school in Cabarrus County in 35 years. However, new schools at all three levels tend to become quickly overcrowded (Robinson High School, built for 1,500 students, opened in the fall of 2005 with nearly 1,800 students enrolled). Therefore, new schools are being constantly planned and added, with eight new schools having been constructed since 1996 (plus four new buildings for outdated existing schools). In addition, the Board of Education recently approved the construction of a new high school in the Hickory Ridge community near Harrisburg, a new middle school, and two new elementary schools. These schools are to be constructed in the next two years.
