Henrietta-Caroleen High School, also known as Tri-High, Tri-Community Elementary, and Chase Middle School, is a historic high school building located near Mooresboro, Rutherford County, North Carolina. It was designed by architect Leslie Boney (1880-1964) and built in 1925. It is a two-story on basement, "T"-plan, Classical Revival style red brick building. The front facade features a monumental, two-story, portico with a denticulated pediment supported by fluted Corinthian order columns. A brick gymnasium addition was built in 1935 and a hip-roofed, concrete block, addition to it was added in 1952. Also on the property are the contributing cafeteria building (1955, 1967), and a World War II Commemorative Marker (c. 1950). The building houses Thomas Jefferson Classical Academy, a public charter school.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1]
