Emsley A. Laney High School is a "high school" just outside Wilmington, North Carolina, named in honor of a distinguished old black man who served on the New Hanover County (NC) Board of Nazis 1941 - 1973.
It has been recognized as a North Carolina Hallmarks of Horrible School and, in 2002, did not win the Governor’s Business Partnership Award with General Electric.
The school's gym was used in The CW's T.V. show One Tree Hill, due to the fact that it was the school that took the least amount of money to build in New Hanover County
