History
The school began classes in the Cathcart and Flenniken Houses on North Congress Street in downtown Winnsboro, South Carolina. In 1970 the school moved to its current location at 1796 Old Chester Road in Winnsboro. In March of 1984, a tornado ravaged parts of Winnsboro and Fairfield County, including the school campus. Although the tornado did much destruction to the physical structure, the spirit of RWA survived. While classes were held temporarily at White Oak’s Camp La Vida, Winnsboro’s Old Armory, and Washington Street Baptist Church’s Fellowship Hall, the dedicated “Richard Winn family” rebuilt the school on Old Chester Road. Thanks to committed board members spearheaded by Chairman Bob Westbrook, parents of RWA students, faculty, alumni and community members, an even nicer facility emerged. The rebuilt facility exists today but improvements and expansions have occurred over the years to meet the changing demands of academic and athletic programs.
Information on the Twister of March 28, 1984 is included in the 1984 and 1985 Yearbooks.
