St. David's School is a private independent Episcopal preparatory school in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Founded as Hale High School by the Vestry of St. Timothy's Episcopal Church and Board of Trustees of St. Timothy's School of Raleigh (founded 1958), the school graduated its first class in 1973. In the fall of 1990, the Middle School of St. Timothy's, grades 6th through 8th, was moved from its Six Forks Road campus to Hale's White Oak Road campus. By the end of the school year, the board of trustees voted to combine Hale High School and St. Timothy's Middle School, resulting in the emergence of St. Timothy's-Hale School. The Board of St. Timothy's-Hale School later voted to sever from St. Timothy's School of Raleigh and the institutions became separate and independent of one another. The Board of St. Timothy's School of Raleigh also reestablished a Middle School on the original Six Forks Road campus to rejoin its Lower School, grades Pre-K through 5.
In November 2002, the board of the newly independent St. Timothy's-Hale School voted to add grades K–4 for the fall of 2003. In the spring of 2003, the school was renamed St. David's School and was expanded to include all grades, K–12, on the same campus. By the 2007–2008 school year, enrollment at St. David's stood at about 540 students. The 2008–2013 school years brought additional sections in lower school, which brought the student body to today's enrollment of more than 620. [1]
In 2012, an expansion project was completed, including a new gym with a weight room and locker rooms, a student commons area, additional offices and classrooms, a theater, fine art facilities, and a modern dining hall. In 2013, a 32-acre satellite field complex was added for athletics. The Dining Hall was renovated in 2015. A major expansion to the lower school was then finished just before the start of the 2016–2017 school year. Also before the 2016–2017 school year, the former Middle School 7–8 grade building, St. Albans, was torn down to make way for the construction of a new academic building that opened in August 2018.
Lower schools students can attend weekly visual and performing arts courses, and middle and upper school programs include visual arts [2] (drawing, painting and design), music (band, a cappella groups, and choir), [3] drama, and media production. Extra-curricular activities include two drama productions each year—a fall play and winter musical—and a show choir. St. David's band and choral students travel annually to competitions. Graduating students from St. David's have gone on to study at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, The Savannah College of Art and Design, The Rhode Island School of Design, Berkelee School of Music, Belmont University, and Vanderbilt University.[ citation needed ] Students have won statewide art competitions,[ citation needed ] and the Fine Arts department has received state recognition for excellence.
