Zebulon B. Vance High School, originally named after the former North Carolina governor, was a public high school located in Charlotte, North Carolina. It was part of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district. The school offered a range of academic programs, including Advanced Placement courses, and had various extracurricular activities, including sports, arts, and clubs. In recent years, the school faced challenges typical of many large public high schools, such as overcrowding and the need for increased resources. It was known for its diverse student body, with students coming from a variety of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. In 2020, in response to wider societal conversations about race and historical figures, the school was renamed Julius L. Chambers High School, after the prominent civil rights lawyer and educator. The name change reflects an effort to better represent the values and diversity of the community it serves.
