SHSAA, Inc. completed renovation on one of its classroom buildings at the old Sampson High School site in 1997. The purpose of the renovation was to transform the classroom building into eight apartments that are collectively called the Sampson High School Housing Complex.  The Association’s Phase One Housing Complex Committee oversaw the renovation of the classroom building from beginning to end.  The address of the complex is 701 McKoy Street, Clinton, NC.

Each apartment has a living area, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom.  They are fully occupied and rent for a modest sum.  The apartments are managed by Venture Manor Realty, owned and operated by Johnny Pridgen.  These apartments help our organization to fulfill one of its missions, which is to provide affordable housing to those who need it. 

SHSAA, Inc. is proud of this accomplishment!
