Her memories: "It had old board floors that creeked when you would walk and those windows were a bear to open sometimes (I can remember getting snowed on one time in typing class as I sat in front of one.)"

I was in second grade, about 1950, when this building was built and it accommodated grades 1-8. I think this school was in the process of being built when our original elementary school burned to the ground on a December weekend around that time. The students were then dispersed to local churches for class until the building in your photo was finished. The school you may have in mind was adjacent to the one in the photo and that was our high school, 2 story brick with white columns, but I believe at one time it was an elementary school. That building was torn down at some point after the new consolidated high school, Pinecrest, was operational. I graduated in 1961 and I don't recall the year that the above elementary school became a middle school, but I suspect sometime in the 70s. The AHS Museum, as mentioned by Jim Whitlock above, has a treasure trove of information about our school and is one of about 2-3 museums in the country that is dedicated to just a school. Thank you for creating a page for our wonderful alma mater! Those were indeed the "good old days!" The picture you have posted was never a high school.

I attended AMS for one year in the late 80's, and it was wonderful to attend a middle school with a REAL football field, tennis court, baseball field, AND a gym with a separate auditorium.

I was unaware of that. I just picked a random photo that I thought would reflect Aberdeen, NC. Can you tell me if the elementary school in the Google Street View above is the old Aberdeen High School? Thanks, Jim. I was unaware of that.

The museum is a treasury of our school's history going back to the early 1900's. It’s worth noting that we have our AHS Museum located in the railroad depot building in the picture above.

I remember the Red Devil mural being painted on the gym wall and the silky red and grey basketball uniforms along with the cheerleaders . Those were the days ! Go Red Devils !"
