The school colors for Ellerbe High School were maroon and gold not burgundy, although I don’t think there is much difference in the two colors.

I believe you are correct. I just found this tribute to former Ellerbe High School teacher John Taylor. It says he retired from Ellerbe in 1972. http://www.johnmtaylor.com/TaylorFamily/jmtbio.htm
Thanks, Teena. I’ll do some more research.

I believe Ellerbe High School closed in 1972. The first graduating class of Richmond Senior High (the new consolidated high school) was in 1973. Also, Mineral Springs did not become Ellerbe Primary at the same time. It was years later when that happened.
