New Virginia Schools
Return to Warren County Schools

In 1857 a one-room brick school house was built in New Virginia on West Street.  A larger, two-story schoolhouse was built in 1901 with high school classes on the top floor and elementary classes on the ground floor.  This building was used through 1925 when a new school building was erected.  In 1961 New Virginia Consolidated School became part of Interstate 35 Community School, including schools of Truro and Saint Charles.  Since that time the Saint Charles school building is used for elementary students, New Virginia has elementary and junior high students, and Truro has senior high students.
