School history and nostalgia
As much as we relish the present and anticipate the future of our school, we also celebrate Ravenscroft’s past and the legacy of our early leaders, benefactors and alumni.
Through the stories below, learn more about Ravenscroft’s fascinating history and the experiences of our alumni when they were students here, whether on our North Raleigh campus or in our primary-school days at the downtown Tucker Street location.
You can also catch up on what our outstanding alumni are doing today by going to “Alumni” (part of “Our Ravens”) and in the once-a-year updates found in Alumni Class Notes.
