History
In 1926, the Deep Run School was built for grades 1-12. The spirit colors were red and white. The mascot was the state bird, the Cardinal. In 1964, the county's schools consolidated and Deep Run closed and was reopened at South Lenoir for high school students in Lenoir County south of the Neuse River. The school's nickname changed to the "Rebels" before changing again to the "Blue Devils" after the integration of white and black students in 1970.[1]
