Wake Young Men's Leadership Academy
In 2011 the school system proposed creating single gender schools. Initially they were to be located at William Peace University, but that institution chose not to host them. It opened in 2012, with Ian Solomon as the first principal. The ex-Thompson School held all Wake Young Men's students until St. Augustine's formed a partnership in 2013. In 2016 the first class graduated. In 2019 Xavier King became the principal. In 2016 it allowed students to play sports at other schools if the sports are not offered at WYLMA, but that year a board member proposed changing the rule.
