Lenoir High School is a historic high school complex and national historic district located at Lenoir, Caldwell County, North Carolina. It was designed by the noted architectural firm Benton & Benton and built in 1922. It is a two-story, Classical Revival-style brick school with cast stone detailing. An addition was made in 1962. Connected to the main building by brick walls is the contributing 1935-1937 band building with additions. The property also has an original stone retaining wall. The Lenoir High School closed its doors in 1977 when it merged with Gamewell-Collettsville High School to form West Caldwell High School. Lenoir High School was then used as a middle school.[2]
The school was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
