History

CHS opened in 1924 in downtown Concord. The building it was housed in is now the site of the Glenn Alternative Center for Cabarrus County Schools. A fire partially destroyed the building in 1937 and parts of the school had to be totally rebuilt. Concord moved to its current location north of downtown in 1967. Two major additions have been made to that building in the nearly four decades since. 1924 was a leap year starting on Tuesday (link will take you to calendar). ... 1937 was a common year starting on Friday (link will take you to calendar). ... 1967 was a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Athletics

Concord's athletics teams are known as the Spiders. The school is a AAA member of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association and competes in the South Piedmont Conference (SPC). The school sponsors interscholastic football, volleyball, tennis (boys and girls), cross country (boys and girls), basketball (boys and girls), wrestling, swimming (boys and girls), baseball, softball, golf, track and field (boys and girls), and soccer (boys and girls).

Concord's football team is the most well-known Spider athletic program in the area, partially due to its long-standing bitter rivalry with A.L. Brown High School in neighboring Kannapolis. The football team won the AAA state championship in football in 2004. Kannapolis is a city in Cabarrus County and Rowan County, North Carolina, next to Concord and northeast of Charlotte. ... 2004 is a leap year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
