This building, formerly known as Chester Middle School, stands today as the Thomas Dale Ninth Grade Campus.

In the mid-1980s, the building saw a small expansion, followed in the early 1990s by some interior renovation and the addition of air conditioning.

To alleviate overcrowding, an annex known as the Thomas Dale West Campus opened in 1997 in the former Carver Middle School building on Branders Bridge Road.

The Thomas Dale West Campus was later turned into what is now the Carver College and Career Center (formerly Community High School).
