North-Eastern section of Robeson County. Approximately
four miles between the townships of Rennert and Rex, NC

and named for the two existing communities.
The community surrounding the school developed and
so did die need for a larger and more comprehensive
educational structure. In 1964, two primary classrooms
were added to the main building. Then in 1979 a brick
gymnasium/ auditorium was constructed to be used bv
the school and the community. In 1990 a modem brick
building yras constructed, consisting of six classrooms, a
library and a guidance office. This new building houses
grades 6-8 and covers a total area of 7,500 square feet.
Hie main building of Rex Rennert consisted of thirteen
classrooms, a cafeteria, career lab, computer lab,
lounge , Behavior Improvement room and a principal's
office.

?renovations, ceilings were lowered, wails were recon
structed, air conditioners were installed in all classrooms.
