Biographical / Historical
Bethesda School was first opened around 1900 in a one-room building off Highway 70 in southeast Durham. Over the next decade it was moved to two different buildings in the same area and then expanded, and in 1925 the school moved to a location across the highway. By the 1950s Bethesda School occupied about 48 acres and housed a grammar school and a high school. In 1957 the high school classes transferred to the newly constructed Southern High School and other area schools, converting Bethesda to an elementary school. It was run by the Durham County school system until the merger of the county and school systems in 1992, and is now part of the Durham Public Schools system.
