Knightdale High School of Collaborative Design (KHSCD) is a public high school part of the Wake County Public School System located in Knightdale, North Carolina.

History

The first Knightdale High School was operated from 1926 until 1955, when it was replaced by East Wake High School. From that time onward, the people of Knightdale had hoped to reopen a local high school to Knightdale. The current Knightdale High School opened on August 10, 2004 as one of 17 public high schools in Wake County, North Carolina.[2]

During the 2015–2016 school year, Knightdale High School was renamed to Knightdale High School of Collaborative Design to promote positive growth in the school.

In June 2019 Keith Richardson became the principal.[3]
