During the era of segregation, the High Point Normal and Industrial Institute opened the doors of education to generations of High Point's African American citizens. Thanks to the leadership of principals Alfred J. Griffin and Edward E. Curtright, the Institute, later renamed William Penn High School, earned a reputation for its high quality vocational training, robust academic curriculum, and lengthy list of distinguished alumni.
