History South Rowan High School opened in 1961.
In 2006, the Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education made headlines when students at South Rowan started up a gay–straight alliance. In response to public complaint, led by Flip Benham of Operation Save America from neighboring Cabarrus county, the board adopted a policy banning "Sex-based student clubs" at all schools in the system.
Graduations are generally held at South Rowan's own James Donnell Stadium, on the school's campus.
