Granite Quarry School, also known as Schuford Memorial Elementary School and Granite Quarry Elementary School, is a historic school complex located at Granite Quarry, Rowan County, North Carolina. The main school building was built in 1933, and is a one-story, H-shaped building sheathed in granite. It has a side-gable roof with shed dormers and a pedimented entrance portico. Connected to the main building by open, covered walkways are the cafeteria (1956) designed by Leslie Boney and a classroom building (1960). It was originally built for African-American students and continued to operate until 1968 when its students were integrated into other county schools.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.[1]
