Massey Hill Classical High School (MHCHS) is a high school in Fayetteville, Cumberland County, North Carolina. The main building of the Massey Hill Classical High School was built in 1925. It is a two-story brick building on a raised basement in the Classical Revival-style. What is now known as the Science Building was added in 1942 and eventually expanded to twelve classrooms. The gymnasium was constructed in 1947. In the past, the gymnasium has served as a community recreation center. It is still used by the Recreation Department for evening basketball.[2]

In the fall of 1972 the school became a junior high. In 1986 the school population changed once again as Massey Hill became the Alternative School for the county.

Renovations to the building took place in the summer of 1998 in order that the school could serve as home to the first high school of choice in Cumberland County. Massey Hill Classical High School offers college bound courses in a structured learning environment.

In December 2004 Massey Hill was entered in the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior.[1]
