Raleigh Academy

Raleigh Academy, also Raleigh Male Academy for a period after the American Civil War, was a prominent school in Raleigh, North Carolina that lasted about 80 years until a governor's mansion (North Carolina Executive Mansion) took over its site.[1] It opened in 1801.[2]

North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts (a predecessor of NC State) played its first football game against a Raleigh Male Academy team on March 12, 1892 in what is now Pullen Park.[3][4]
