APEX FRIENDSHIP HIGH SCHOOL
Less than a year after the end of the Civil War, recently emancipated
slaves found a place where they could meet, hold religious services, and
ultimately build a community alongside white merchants and farmers.
Soon after, Native Americans too settled among this area’s inhabitants.
Ultimately, in recognition of the unique cooperative spirit that made their
lives possible, community leaders agreed to call their settlement
Friendship, and this is where Apex Friendship High School stands today.
