Chowan High School — Edenton, North Carolina
Posted by DaveSanders | North Carolina | Posted on December 16th, 2009
Edenton, North Carolina seems to consider itself a small town. With a population of around 13,000, maybe they try to maintain the small town feel. Edenton is the largest town in Chowan County, which is the smallest county in North Carolina (147 square miles according to the Chowan County Sheriff’s Office).
Here’s some Chowan County photos from the book Edenton and Chowan County, North Carolina.

Chowan High School is listed as being in Edenton, but is physically closer to the little town of Tyner. A reader of this blog tells us the colors of the Chowan Bulldogs were Maroon and White.
I couldn’t find much information at all about Chowan High School. Hopefully, some alumni will jump in and provide us with some history about the school. “Chowan” refers to the Chowan Indian tribe that lived in the area at one time.
Here’s a Google Street View of Chowan High School.
Looking at the satellite map of the area, I’d love to go fishing in the Chowan River…looks more like a lake. Ah, I see now, it transitions from a river, to a bay, to Albemarle Sound. Still looks like a great fishing area. I bet the fishing guides do well.

Chowan High School Bulldogs. Colors maroon and white. We had a basketball team but no football team.
Country school near Tyner, TX. I graduated in 1970. I still have one yearbook and my megaphone from being a cheerleader. At the time I went there, grades six through 12 attended.
The Indian had to do with the word Chowan which is an Indian word. Don’t remember what it meant.
Thanks for the update. I’ll rewrite the post to include your info soon.
