Robert L. Patton High School (commonly known as Patton High School) is a public high school in Morganton, North Carolina. [2] It is a part of the Burke County Public Schools district.
Robert L. Patton High School opened in August 2007. The school was named after Robert Logan Patton IV (1849–1920), a reverend and educator who founded Patton Academy and the Baptist Church of Morganton. [3] The school shares the same design as Jimmy C. Draughn High School in Valdese, North Carolina, which opened a year later in 2008. [4]
The school mascot is a panther, and the school colors are red, black, and silver. Patton's sports teams compete in the North Carolina High School Athletic Association and is currently a 2A school. The Panthers are a member of the Mountain Foothills 7 Conference for sports.
