Patrick Henry High School (Stockbridge, Georgia)
Public high school in Stockbridge, Georgia, United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Patrick Henry High School (PHHS) was located at 109 South Lee Street in Stockbridge, Georgia, United States.[3] It was the alternative high school for the Henry County School System. It was closed after the 2015 school year after the Board of Education made the decision to move the alternative school to a different location in the county. The building was used as a rental space for the filming industry and its adjacent building for professional development meetings. The building began its demolition in September 2024 after the conclusion of filming for Stranger Things Season 5, with the demolition continuing into October and November of the same year. The demolition was for the construction of a new Henry County STEM School on the same site. The building was the original Stockbridge High School. Patrick Henry High School relocated to the old McDonough Elementary School in McDonough and was renamed Excel Academy.
