East Gaston High School (also referred to as East Gaston or EGHS) is a public high school that is part of the Gaston County Schools district and is located in Mount Holly, North Carolina.

History

The school was established in 1972, when high schools in the neighboring communities of Mount Holly and Stanley were consolidated.[2] Feeder middle schools are Stanley and Mt. Holly, with the surrounding Springfield Elementary School also being within the area.[3]

Its attendance range covers northeastern Gaston County and includes western portions of Mount Holly, the town of Stanley and the communities of Mountain Island, Alexis, Lucia, Dallas, as well as the surrounding rural areas in Gaston County.

At one point, East Gaston was the largest high school in Gaston County. However, it lost a significant portion of its attendance zone, when Stuart W. Cramer High School opened in nearby Cramerton.

Extracurricular activities

The East Gaston athletic teams compete in the Big South 2A/3A Conference, which includes the following teams, with South Point being their main rival:
