Kernersville Elementary School recently celebrated 100 years since the establishment of the first Kernersville school building. The campus has taught a wide range of grades in that time, and its schools have hosted plenty of interesting people, from statewide sports champions to integration trailblazers. ESL Teacher William Sykes, who organized the school’s exhibits for its anniversary celebration, hopes that learning more about the school’s history will inspire students with a healthy curiosity about the world around them.
“History fascinates me because it’s always right beneath the surface,” Sykes said. “There’s so much here that you don’t know anything about until you start to look.”
