History

[edit]

Dorman High School opened its doors to students on August 17, 1964. The then new high school consolidated Roebuck and Fairforest high schools.[5]

On March 29, 1985, a fifteen year old freshman came to school with a loaded .38-caliber Colt revolver. Then teacher, Ms. Peggy Larson, who taught algebra, suspected one of her students of drinking and attempted to take him to the school's principal's office. The student then broke away and fled out a side door to his home. This student then returned to the school later the same day with his gun, and held four students hostage inside a classroom.

The incident lasted until a local pastor stepped into the classroom to talk down the student. The student was arrested, charged with four counts of kidnapping, and was then sent to Columbia for a psychological evaluation. After that, the student was then sent to then Spartanburg General Hospital, now called Spartanburg Regional, psychiatric's unit. After being released, the student was placed on probation until his 21st birthday, as well as being barred from being on school grounds, or intimidating the victims of this incident. Due to the student's age, as he was a minor, his name was not released.[6]

Stadium

[edit]

Dorman High School hosts an athletic stadium named Cavalier Stadium that is owned and operated by Spartanburg County School District Six.[7] It opened in the fall of 2002 after the relocation of the old Dorman high school onto a new 450 acre campus in a natural ravine behind the main building. The largest crowd seen at Cavalier Stadium was 15,800. In 2002 attendance reached over 10,000 for the opening game against Mauldin High School, the 2002 game against Byrnes High School, and the game against Spartanburg High School.[8] Notable for its size, it was completed with all of its amenities at an estimated cost of USD$8 million[citation needed], though that number is still debated.
