Named for prominent local African-American education pioneer, Dr. Simon Green Atkins, Atkins High School was designed by Harold Macklin in the Classical Revival style and constructed 1930-1931. Atkins was the first school in Winston-Salem built as a high school to serve Africans Americans. Constructed with the assistance of the Rosenwald Fund, a philanthropic organization devoted to building schools for African-Americans. Atkins marked the use of the Rosenwald funds for an urban high school in North Carolina. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.
