    How was our school name determined?
    Less than a year after the end of the Civil War, recently emancipated slaves found a place where they could meet, hold religious services, and ultimately build a community alongside white merchants and farmers.  Soon after, Native Americans also settled among this area's inhabitants.  Ultimately, in recognition of the unique cooperative spirit that made their lives possible, community leaders agreed to call their settlement Friendship.  This is where Apex Friendship High School stands today!
