The William G. Enloe GT/IB Center for Humanities, Sciences, and Arts (Enloe High School) is a Wake County Public School System public magnet high school located in east Raleigh, North Carolina. The school is named for William Gillmore Enloe, the mayor of Raleigh at the time the school was opened. Enloe is currently ranked 52nd in Newsweek's list of the top United States schools.
Technology: At Enloe, 100% of instructional classrooms have reliable connections to Internet resources. In addition to full-campus technological connectivity, Enloe provides nearly one computer console terminal for every two students, compared with the state average of more than three students per terminal. Made possible through various private, corporate, local, state, and federal grants, Enloe's facilities provide three open-access computer labs for use by students and classes, several "mobile labs" consisting of two dozen laptops, and an additional half-dozen labs devoted to specific courses and subject areas. Specialized computer labs are provided for classes taught in several subject areas, including computer science, drafting, and graphic arts. They also have an award winning television program that wins numerous National Academy Television Student Awards for the Nasheville Midsouth Chapter, most recently winning a NSTAE for a food drive promotion.
History: Enloe High School was actually organized as two different schools that shared athletic facilities between adjacent campuses � William G. Enloe Senior High and Charles B. Aycock Junior High. The original Enloe campus was opened in 1962 as the first integrated secondary school in Raleigh for the education of students participating in grades seven through twelve.
Three years after Enloe opened its doors, Aycock was created on an adjacent campus as a junior high school to educate students in the seventh through ninth grades, and Enloe became a senior high school with concentrated education for grades ten through twelve. Enloe absorbed the Aycock campus in 1979, becoming a modern high school focused on education educating ninth through twelfth grade students. The Aycock building became the East Campus, while the original Enloe complex became the West Campus.
In 1980, Enloe began providing magnet courses for "gifted and talented" students in Wake County. The school was promoted to full magnet status in 1982. The "magnet" designation means that Enloe offers many courses that other Wake County schools do not, and provides services to its students that are not available to them at their "base" schools. At Enloe, like many magnet schools, the majority of the student body uses publicly provided transportation to shuttle them to school, though Enloe retains its own "base" population.
In July 1997, Enloe became an IB World School, allowing students to pursue the challenging International Baccalaureate Programme. Enloe IB students are occasionally invited to attend special events or trips through their involvement in the IB Programme. In the recent past, Enloe IB students have participated in exchanges with high schools in China (2004-2005) and Germany (2005-2006), and have begun a relationship with students at a high school in Turkey though the use of video conferencing technology.
Evangelist controversy: In February, 2007, the school came under fire from Muslim advocacy groups after social studies teacher Robert Escamilla invited Kamil Solomon, a Coptic Christian evangelist and head of Kamil International Ministries, to speak and distribute anti-Muslim literature to students. The Council on American Islamic Relations and parents of Muslim students universally condemned the school for breaching federal civil rights laws and promoting hate in a public school. School principal Beth Cochran promised to investigate the matter but refused to issue an apology saying the school was only promoting "the free exchange of ideas."
Notable alumni: Bill Campbell, Mayor of Atlanta, Georgia (1994-2002).
Randy Jones, original cowboy from the Village People.
Nate McMillan, head coach of the Portland TrailBlazers; former player for Chowan College, NCSU, and the Seattle SuperSonics.
Anand Lal Shimpi, founder and CEO of AnandTech.
Chris Wilcox, former basketball star at University of Maryland, College Park; currently playing for the Seattle SuperSonics.
Adam Baker and Mike Robinson, lead singer and bassist, respectively, of the indie-pop band, Annuals.
P.J. Tucker, former basketball star at University of Texas, Austin; currently playing for the Toronto Raptors.
