Facilities
J. L. Mann High School opened on July 1, 1965, in the East Parkins Mill Road area of Greenville. On January 5, 2008, students and faculty moved into a new building, which replaced the original high school constructed in 1964. The J. L. Mann football stadium is located next to the old high school, about one mile from the new building.[4]
As of the 2017–2018 school year, the campus comprises two separate facilities: "Building A", the new building completed in 2008; and "Building B", an addition completed in fall of 2017. Building B, intended for tech-integrated project-based learning (including the New Tech program), sports a more modern interior design, and is only accessible to students and visitors via an elevated "sky bridge" connecting it to the second floor of Building A. The addition of Building B was accompanied by a new running track and tennis court.
