History
The first Knightdale High School was operated from 1926–1965 until it was replaced by East Wake High School. Since that time, the people of Knightdale had hoped to reopen a high school to Knightdale. The current Knightdale High School opened on August 10, 2004. 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.
