Dedication of George Grimsley
Also In Students of Namesake
By Jan Petrehn
Between the dusty covers of
the 1910 REFLECTOR. Senior
High’s first yearbook, lies the
story of a school year few re
member. However, the name of
the man to whom that REFLECT
OR was dedicated has survived
time and still lingers about the
halls of the school which has
been named after him.
“To George A. Grimsley, for
twelve years the faithful super
intendent of the Greensboro City
Schools; for many years the pres
ident of the School Board, and
as such, a zealous advocate of
the cause of education at all
times and in all places; the pio
neer in securing High School ad
vantages for the boys and girls
of our city . . .” reads the dedi
cation of the REFLECTOR.
Grimsley’s great grandfather
came to North Carolina as a pio
neer. Later his father inherited
a small tract of land, which, by
his death at 65 years of age, had
been increased to 1000 acres
George A Grimsley was one of
six children .He attended Bing
ham Military School in Mebane
and later attended the University
of Nashville in Nashville, Ten
nessee He graduated in 1888 and
dedicated the next 30 years of
his life to the improvement of
educational opportunities for
children.
Elected superintendent of Tar-
boro Public Schools in 1900, he
resigned the next year to become
superintendent of the Greensboro
Public School System.
Later he gave up that position
to work as secretary of the Secur
ity Life and Annuity Company.
Grimsley was elected president
of Jefferson Life after Security
Life emerged with Greensboro
Life Insurance Company.
Today Grimsley is remem
bered for his dedication to edu
cation in this city. On July 1,
1962 the name of Greensboro
High School was changed to
Grimsley High School.
How strange that although Page
was named after an ambassador
and nationally known figure, and

Many of Grimsley’s service
clubs are now searching for a
service project for the coming
year. Often it is hard to decide
what projects are needed most
by the school. For the benefit
of these clubs, HIGH LIFE has
compiled a list of suggestions
from students and faculty.
