History

North Pitt opened in 1970 as the consolidated high school for the "north of the river" area of Pitt County. North Pitt, as an integrated high school, was the new school for the Belvoir, Bethel, Pactolus, Stokes, and Staton House areas, all of which made up the vast farming areas north of the Tar River. Belvoir, Bethel, and Stokes-Pactolus High Schools sent all their students that year to the school, which was headed by Principal Walter Latham and Assistant Principal E.R. McNairwho was one of the earliest black administrators in the county and still works at North Pitt, now as a substitute teacher after retiring.

The school was a sister school to cross county D. H. Conley High School in Greenville and has grown in size from its original two and a half hallway design to now include four major hallways, one vocational wing, and two outside field houses.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Bethel Heights, Arkansas</span> City in Arkansas, United States

Bethel Heights was a city in Benton County, Arkansas, United States. Always a small, sparsely populated community, the region coalesced around a school named Bethel in the late 19th century but did not incorporate until 1967 to avoid annexation by larger neighboring communities. The town offered police and fire protection and wastewater service to residents, but sent students to Springdale Public Schools and purchased water from Springdale Water Utilities. By the 21st century, Northwest Arkansas was gaining population rapidly, and Bethel Heights reincorporated as a city and grew from a population of 714 in 2000 to 2,372 at the 2010 census. Growth put pressure on the city's subsurface discharge wastewater treatment system, and following a series of wastewater treatment plant violations, voters dissolved the city and completely annexed into Springdale in August 2020.
