Alumni & Friends Association, Inc., |

This organization is proud to
share the Legacy of the Former Warren County Training School (WCTS) and the
North Warren High School (NWHS) which was a Julius Rosenwald Campus established
in the early 1920s. Mr. Rosenwald was a Chicago philanthropist and president of
Sears, Roebuck And Company.The
Rosenwald Foundation’s funding supported the building of many public schools in
several southern states to educate African American students. Funding from the
Rosewald Foundation and the local community built the first African American
High School in Warren County, NC. The first building was destroyed in 1931 by a
tornado. Later that year the Rosenwald
Foundation funds along with donations from the local community erected a brick
building which remains today.The Alumni
Association is composed of former students, spouses and friends of the
organization.There are six active
chapters in several states on the east coast.
