History
editIn September 1870, Capt. John H. Grabill was appointed as the first superintendent of schools for Shenandoah County under the provisions for the new public school system in Virginia. The first meeting of the Board of Education was held on April 8, 1871.[4] In the early years of the district, it had over 114 schools, the majority of which were county one-room schools.[5]
The Virginia Teachers League (now represented by the Virginia Education Association) was originally established in Mount Jackson in Shenandoah County in 1898.[4]
