Stratford High School
Inscription
Stratford High School opened in 1961, the last high school established by the Davidson County School Board before Metro consolidation. In September 1963, four African American students—Pamela Franklin, Brenda Harris Haywood, Beverly Page Ward and Bernadine Price Rabathaly—desegregated the school when they entered as seventh graders, facing a mob of protestors.
Re-named Stratford STEM Magnet High School in 2012 and renovated in 2017, the school has achieved LEED Silver certification.
