Mike James, Principal of Fuquay-Varina High School, partnered with our marketing & graphics team to bring forth his vision for a 50-year commemorative coin.

What's the back story behind the final coin design?

NC schools began desegregating in 1970. Fuquay Consolidated High School, the African American school and the all-white Fuquay-Varina High School, originally Fuquay Springs High School officially became FVHS in 1964.

When the schools were merged to form an integrated Fuquay-Varina High School a Bengal tiger was selected as the mascot because of the black and white stripes; representing coming together in 1970. Throughout 2025, FVHS will celebrate milestones moments, reconnect with memories, honor individuals who made an impact at the school & in the community, shine a light on the rich history of the community that inspired future leaders, teachers & mentors within Wake County that represent the legacy of the school’s history.

Inside the school, public display cases of artifacts from the Fuquay-Varina Centennial Museum and individual community members to pay homage to Fuquay Consolidated High School and Fuquay Springs High School.
