J.C. Price High School, also known as the Joseph Charles Price High School, is a historic high school complex located at Salisbury, Rowan County, North Carolina. The complex consists of four symmetrically positioned one-story brick buildings built between 1931 and 1957. The original building was built in 1931-1932, and is an "H"-shaped, Colonial Revival style brick building. The Rosenwald Fund supported the construction of the school with a building grant of $5,300. A classroom building was built parallel to the original building in 1956-1957, a gymnasium was built in 1951, and cafeteria in 1956-1957. J. C. Price High School was originally housed in the Monroe Street School. The school served as Salisbury’s high school for African-American students from 1932 through the 1968-1969 school year.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.[1]
