The Fayetteville Area Transportation and Local History Museum, in collaboration with Terry Sanford High School, is currently hosting a commemorative centennial exhibit through Nov. 30. The exhibit highlights 100 years of scholastic and social life at what is now Terry Sanford High School. Beginning with the first graduating class of Central School in 1913, the various locations of the school and monumental experiences of students there have helped shape our community. This nostalgic look back at a century of high school days in our city will certainly remind us all of that pivotal time in every student's life.
