Twenty-one more yearbooks from Henderson county have been added to our site thanks to one of our newest partners, the Henderson County Education History Initiative (HCEHI), as well as the Hendersonville High School Alumni Association. These yearbooks span from 1913 to 1972 and include materials from eight different schools in the area: Flat Rock High School, Etowah High School, East Henderson High School, Fletcher High School, Hendersonville High School, Mills River High School, and West Henderson High School.

Though this batch of yearbooks covers so many different eras of high school throughout the 20th century, one consistent element among several editions is a focus on uniforms. The 1970 edition of The Falcon, for example, shows a representative from the school’s various teams showing off their athletic uniforms. This 1970 cheerleading uniform is a bit of a departure from the cheerleading uniforms of the 1950s, as evidenced by this squad from Mills River High (though the dance teams’ preference for shiny uniforms seems to be evergreen).

You can see all of the yearbooks in this batch here. You can also explore all of our digital yearbooks by school, location, and date in our North Carolina Yearbooks collection.
