Gardner-Webb was originally organized in 1905 as Boiling Springs High School through a partnership between the Kings Mountain and Sandy Run Baptist Associations. It was to be a boarding high school designed to offer a Christian influence. Planning for a new building began in 1906. The school opened its doors for students in October 1907.




A history of the school that evolved to become Gardner-Webb University is detailed in its first school catalog.
