This is the third Spalding County school to have this name. The first Spalding High was built in 1929 and opened in 1930. It was located on Spalding Street, near the Dixie Highway and west of the city of Griffin. In 1943, the original building burned. In 1945, the second Spalding High was built. The first two schools were part of the Spalding County School System. In 1953, the Griffin and Spalding County school systems merged. As a result of the consolidation, the second Spalding High was closed.[3]
