Charlotte's All-Black Schools
Northwest Junior High was Charlotte’s first and only all-black junior high. Until it was started in 1954, grades 7-12 were considered high school. The school now occupies the old West Charlotte High School campus. It still operates today as Northwest School of the Arts, a 6-12 arts magnet school.
