It is a part of Bristol Virginia Public Schools.

Located at 501 Piedmont Avenue, the original section of the school was completed in 1914 and served as Virginia High School until 1953.

The school underwent an extensive renovation in 1995 and was completed for total occupancy in 1996, allowing it to serve the sixth through eighth grades.

The building was added to the Virginia Landmarks Register in 1996 and received National Register of Historic Places status in 1997.
