History
The first Knightdale High School was operated from 1926 until 1955, when it was replaced by East Wake High School. From that time onward, the people of Knightdale had hoped to reopen a local high school to Knightdale. The current Knightdale High School opened on August 10, 2004. Currently, it is the only public high school in Knightdale, North Carolina.[2]
During the 2015–2016 school year, Knightdale High School was renamed to Knightdale High School of Collaborative Design to promote positive growth in the school. The motto "Every Student College Ready" is held with the new change.
